Looks like those trails would make for some excellent mountain biking trails! Great post!

I would love to know more about the set in the middle, those with the brass guard, lanyard tubes, and butt plates. Who made them? And the E-Nep and Meed Larb look like very good jungle or camp knives.

Thanks for sharing the pics; can't believe how tall that bamboo is and how steep the hillside is under all the growth.

Great thread and great pics--thanks for posting! How many days did you spend in the bush? Sorry if you mentioned it already-- I got distracted by all that fine looking steel.

Please be sure to post pictures of Thai knives and machetes (parangs?) By them selves and especially in use or being maintained. I believe there's a lot of interest in the west in these knives.
I've seen a small blade attached to a long handle that looks interesting.

The long handle blade is used for handicraft such as edge the bamboo wood or rattan.
