			This is a form of dha.  From one of the various hill tribes loosly referred to as "Montagnard".  Probably from Laos, but some are attributed to Vietnam and Thailand. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	The very long handle, small disc guard and "hatchet" tip are typical of the form. Nice example. The scabbard looks newer than the blade and handle, and these scabbards are most often seen completely bound with rattan strips.  |
