Like a Dha but not a Dha.....

Any chances to obtain a pic, Gene?

I don't think this likely is a panabas. While some abberant panabas have been posted (try a search), the hilt seems to be off on several features.

If it does look like a dha to you, I'd guess this is much more likely to be of Burmese/Thai/Lao/Khmer craftmanship.

Is the braiding raw "grass" or worked plant fibers or finely split rattan?

Regards,
Kai
