Thai weapons

[sunzi]

I know this is somewhat the wrong forum for my question, but does anyone know where to get hold of Thai weapons, especially swords, with good quality?

A couple years ago, one of the large knife mags (either Blade or Tactical Knives) published a story by a guy who travelled to Thailand and bought a bunch of nice blades from local makers. I will try to locate a copy but if I can't, you might want to e-mail the mags about getting a back issue or contact information for the author. He could probably hook you up with the real thing.

Most of what I've encountered over here have been Krabi Krabong training blades.

Hi,

Thanks for the answers. Akabu, I haven't seen that store before, the weapons look really interesting. But I can't find any Thai weapons on the page, have I just missed them?

Has anyone bought any weapons from valiantco, and if so, what do you think of the quality?
