If it was not for the scabbard, it looks Thai/sea, to me especially the guard?

The knife does have the shape of a Thai enep or Hmong (Montaniard) knife. the touristy scabbard probably for Western eyes. May even have been replaced by or for a GI during the Vietnam war.
Mine: The villagers prefer these without the thick aluminium guard. Last edited by kronckew; 30th December 2022 at 12:22 PM. |
