Code: SA2
This is a dha-hmyaung dagger from the Shan tribes of Burma (modern day Myanmar), age estimated 1920-1950. Typical for this style, the grip is wrapped in rattan and about 6 inches in length. The blade is above average quality, very sharp and retains a fine point. The 9 inch blade shows a clear folding pattern as well as a temper line where the edge has been hardened. The scabbard is original, with leather and traditional cord/belt added at a later time.
