My error Gustav, other people in this thread have referred to Chenok, I've never heard of Chenok, or Chana, or Chinok & I was going on memory without checking the spelling that others had used first. In any case, all these names are transliterations, so it is possible that we could take half a dozen modern era people who express words in Roman text and get half a dozen different spellings.

I'm not even considering the dress, blades moved all over SE Asia, I'm only looking at the blade, and right now all I have to go on is my very limited experience in respect of a blade that displays the indicators that this blade displays.
