kronckew,

The last one you posted is not a panabas. It is a Thai prah, which is a utility axe, somewhat like the Moro tabas on which the panabas is based. A prah of this form and decoration seems to be found most commonly in the northern areas of Thailand and neighboring Laos/Yunnan.

Give that man a cigar!


I know, that's why I said 'none' & 'almost'.
(If you save my posted photo, it's named "Thai Pra")

So it is. I misunderstood your post. I thought you believed it was a panabas.

I was probably being a bit too subtle with my humour in attempting to point out the similarities.


just for devilment, watched a FIF knife cutting challenge series finale last night, won by a man with a 'modified' panabas. Not sure what year tho. It had a one handed grip.
