Recently found these at my hometown and i had to get them without having to cross the border (4 hours of driving) and custom clearance .
Did some readings online and found it is named as มีดซาบาต้า - Meed Sabatda.
The saw teeth" at the spine look like they are made just like the notch from Bucks Hoodlums.
Good thing is that they aren't cut too deep and it does add baddassery to the blade.
Also found that a larger notch towards the handle can be used as bottle opener.
What i like immediately is that those points are far away from the sweet spots where shock can propagates.
Both are 21" and 17" respectively in OAL with 5.5" handle.
The wood used here, i believe is Eucalyptus has rather interesting texture.
The smaller bowie has better grain and quality in wood handle.
I did some light chopping with the longer blade and it surprised me, after a few slides on the sharpening stone it is sharp enough to take some cutting.
Chopped through some young trees at 2" thick at diameter and it felt as if it can take more beating.Comes with PVC sheaths but i would rather have sturdier sheaths.
Overall i'm happy with the purchase as another chopper in my rotation and will continue to test the chopper.
