A Dha with a clipped 2 blade I think we called it.
Did put it in about 2 years ago but nice to rephoto it, give it a polish and show it again. Awsome bit of blade construction in my opinion but the photos dont really show the changes in width and angles too well. Take my word for it then. Its good

Cheers

It's very crude, but very affective weapons, nonetheless! I read that the Thais, and other Tai speaking people, which include the Laotion, Shan, and some group living in southern China and Vietnam, are originally from the Southern Southeast Asia and the Islands around there. It is believe the ancestors of the Tai people are very much like the Daic people, who actually might be the more ancient group of Tai speaking people; they live on Borneo, Northern Phillipines, and other parts the South. They then reimmigrated back to the mainland Asia and then spread southward into Southeast Asia. There is a smiliarity between the Tai and Daic people's language. Also, If you look at the way these people fight, they also like to fight with machetes, which ofcourse are similar to the Thai and Shan machete like swords.

Picked this one up at the Gun Show. The seller had it on his table for over a year. I couldn't pass it up after he asked me to name my price. Has some damage with rusted blade, but it still retains its beauty. Where is this Yataghan from.

Three more from todays gun show excursion. One in need of dental repair. The silver Kakatua has damage and the blade is sporting some nicks.

Great Pieces.

Share some pix when you clean them up and back from the DENTIST.

Hi this is my latest

That's a nice one D. I've been looking at that for a while. I like that fabric
wrapped scabbard, a fullered blade, and the Ivory kakatua.

Spunger,
I also recall back in the day, a man with a smashed grill hanging around the Sari-sari store, looking for someone to kick him down some tuba. LOL!

Personally, that monster hilt reminded me of my Tito Boy. He loves his lambanog.

On another note, I thought I would revive this thread in case anyone wanted to share a new acquisition, but did not want to start a new thread on their newfound piece.

I have a couple of kris coming in that I find particularly simple (but well done) and would not generate enough discussion to warrant separate threads (WWII. separate gangya. both maranao. I love 'em as much as someone can love an inanimate object, but that's basically all that could be said about these pieces to be honest.) That being said, I thought it would be wise for me to post them here once they arrive, since I am still anxious to share them.

Pics when they come in!

I am curious to see your new babys!
