	The hump on the handle and the Chinese carving style are the main elements that made me consider a Chinese dao. The mix if features and the quality are what appealed to me. Any more clues on the geometric motif? the alternating T mark? I will post more pics after cleaning and etching the blade. Regards, Emanuel  |
