I am afraid i have the same questions as Alan, Detlef. Neither of the two other knives with a similar hilt resemble this blade. I am afraid i would need to see some further evidence of a Thai knife with provenance that displays these same features before i would be able to accept it as originating in that area. I still think the blade has more in common with Aceh blades than anywhere else.
