Hi Shayde,
I really like your attempt to introduce Assamese Dao onto the the Kora family.
Never thought about it but now... I agree with you: it looks like (at the very least) a cousin thrice removed.

My limited information regarding Assamese weapons notes that the Naga dao was not indigenous in production; supposedly iron was not readily available, and blades were imported. Bower reported that quality swords were sought from Bhutan and Tibet.
