Wow great set of shapes . I few of the shorter shapes are similar to utilitarian blades I've seen in Burma but many are quite weird and interesting .

I forgot to translate the 3rd item, มีดโต้ลาว / Lao's chopper
มีด/mead/knife
โต้/Toe/Dao or chopper
ลาว/Lao/Lao people

Alaung_Hpaya, these designs are very regional and most of them are also weird to me.

That because they are so utilitarian type that they rarely went to museum.
