I'm currently rereading James C Scott's The Art of Not Being Governed, which is a great history of "Upland Southeast Asia" and helps explain the origin of the great diversity of peoples in the area.

Konyak Blade
Blacklacrau,
From the attached illustration it appears that your weapon may be a dao originating with the Konyak Nagas. See my earlier post in this thread, #10 - Dave A. Last edited by DaveA; 6th March 2015 at 09:00 PM. Reason: remove duplicate information |

YOUR EXAMPLE LOOKS LIKE FIGURE E ON THE PLATE OF NAGA WEAPONS IN THE POST ABOVE. I CAN'T ADD MUCH TO THE POST YOU HAVE LINKED ON YOUR AX EXCEPT THAT PERHAPS IT WAS PLATED AT SOME TIME WITH BRASS OR BRONZE OR PAINTED. EITHER WAY IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD IRON BLADE THAT HAS A COATING THAT HAS WORN OFF. A NICE EXAMPLE OF THE FORM.
