The biggest dha I've had

Ian, thank you for the info.
kronckew, I dont think that thist dha for execution. For all its massiveness, it does not have the best balance for a chopping blow.

Are you holding it one-handed at the bolster? Dha are not two handed. It looks like the blade shape is similar to Vietnamese truongdao and Chinese dadao blades. It'd be rather ungainly if you held it near the pommel, or even on the ivory/bone bit of the grip. Generally they use Draw cuts rather than straight chops...
