Nice Tai Yai (Shan) knife. This type is popular as Ian mentions throughout the Golden Triangle. It's not a monk/priests knife, but more of a decorative personal knife. Even if you don't see engraved yantra on the knife, almost all knives are bless and may have tailsman on them, in them/ are themselves a tailsman for protection. The ivory carving is a fairly common seen motif of a demon holding two Naga's.

Happy to contribute ☺️. Sorry I didn’t see your comment until now. I am nonsure 100% sure but I would say these appear to be some sort of leapard/ spotted jungle cat due to the spots and tail. 🐆 |
