Kachin dao questions

[thomas hauschild]

Hi

I have got a kachin dao with scabbard. The scabbard seems to be a bit long. I have seen other pictures , all with „bigger“ scabbards but if would go into the woods I would prefer to have a scabbard as short as possible. What do you mean ? I do not think that it is a newer one. The wear on the wood of the scabbard inside looks that the dao was used with this scabbard for a long time. On the picture together with my other kachin dao.

Best Thomas
