Since this is turning into the Kachin Dao thread, I'll dig up a few of mine
 Actually I am glad that I did. These are really neat sword types they all speak to me. Fun to swing around. Like Scratch said in the original post. Quote:

Does anyone else have a jawbone on their scabbard? The one I posted above has half of a small jawbone of what I think is a small cat tied to the shoulder loop, and I see that one of Bill's does, too. I came across this description of a similar feature:
"A dha in its half-scabbard, fastened to a bamboo hoop, decorated with charms, such as the canine or molar of a leopard or tiger, and suspended to a red cloth band ornamented with cowries, is also slung over the right shoulder." Anderson, "A Report of the Expedition to Western Yunnan" (1871), p. 121. |
