A Dha (Burmese; also spelled dah) is the Burmese word for "knife" and "sword" similar term to daab or darb (Thai) in Thai language for a single edge sword. The term dha is conventionally used to refer to a wide variety of knives and swords used by many people across Southeast Asia, especially present day Myanma (Burma), Thailand, Yunnan, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.

The blade has Asian markings to each side including the spine. The bamboo scabbard is bound with plaited twine. This is a lovely ‘Dha’ and scabbard and would adorn any collectors cabinet.
