Hello, all.
Does anyone know what the chisel edge on the Naga sword daos was for? Why have it over a normal double equal bevel edge? Was it somehow specialized for decapitation?
And also, I have had some confusion about the Naga and Kachin peoples. Were they one and the same? Were they different? How did the weapons of these two differ, if they were different?
