lol deal, I have bought so many dha in the past month I am ashamed , most of them pretty non functional just interesting aranyik tourist trap stuff from the 70s -- but man, today i will post the first real dha I have ever gotten, it is kachin style, and sourced to 19th century, the difference in the feeling is extremely plain, so to say the real blade is more like a HI sword , thick all the way to the point , much more force in the blade. the one I have is not a fighting dha, but a very functional laminated jungle blade. i will post in blues " collection" thread
