So I just got an email that my new sword is ready, just need to finish paying for it.
Looking forward to getting it. I have been saving up bottles to practice my cutting with it.

Hot damn that's beautiful. I'm curious, is it a historical design? Looks a lot like a dha, but the flat/scalloped tip is something I haven't seen before.

Yes it's historical, but even the maker commented something to the effect of that he hadn't made one with that blade geometry often. This was a different type of "point" but since they aren't made for thrusts I thought it was a good choice and I should take advantage of it.

I find myself very interested in swords that are extremely specialized for either cutting or thrusting, like estocs, square blade rapiers, katzbalgers, or this sword.

Dang, that’s a sweet looking dha. It should be a wonderful cutter. Does it happen to have a fuller along the spine? I doubt it, but I’ve seen a few similarly fancy originals with one. I look forward to reading your impressions when you have it.

Dha is Burmese and basically means sword or knife. Dha typically refers to a Burmese sword, Daab Thai, and Darb Laosian. Since Siamese Edge is in Thailand this would probably be called a Daab, and since I don’t have a pointy tip on mine probably Daab hua ta. But in a style not well known, Dha is the most known name so I’ll keep calling it that unless I get feed back saying to use the Daab name.

Smart to have a dozer...for maintaining access roads, firebreaks, etc. That was one thing I did not have in FL...and had to pay dozer operators to come when they were available. We had a 3Kw solar system, and it was not enough, had to shut all the other breakers to run the well 2X a day into the pressure tank, no AC w/o a generator, etc. Internet was on the phone or the library....mostly the library 45 Min away. So I understand a little what you are up against..
Are they making you pay for a new sword, for the one that was flawed, or just the shipping?

So I haven’t been active on SBG for quite awhile. I now live on 40 acres of rural property. It’s 2.5 miles just to the gravel county road from my house. I’m at 2,500 ft elevation and town is at 900 ft. I’ve been living in a 25 ‘ trailer for the last 5 yrs (so sick of not being able to put my arms above my head). Last winter I finally moved into the house I’m building, due to a fire that burned a lot up here. I’m still hauling water and only have 600 watts of solar. The fire burned the solar panels for the house and the insulated water pipe that runs from the well to the cistern then the house. I had dug the trench for the water line but hadn’t burned it yet. The number was going to hook up the water line when the fire happened. If it had been hooked up I would have burned it. Life has been busy, but I still have swords and bows and love bladed objects. I have to go to town to get online, as I don’t have internet at my house yet. Getting this sword from Siamese Edge I had to share with SBG so I’ll post a review after I get it. I have a Hanwai Banshee and love it but thought it was time to upgrade to something more traditional. I already have anther Hanwei with the Scott Rodell Cutting Jain. So I figure the Banshee was a good one to upgrade. I also have a Kissaki-moroha-zukuri katana from ST Sword (they changed their name shortly after I got my sword). I also have a Valiant Armory Malatesta. I have a Samick Sage recurve take down bow and I built a Penobscot bow.
The Siamese Edge Dha blade had a flaw they saw when mounting it, so there reforging the blade.
Siamese Edge said they were going to reforge the blade, so instead of getting it last month I have to wait until this month. I'm glad they noticed the flaw. While it sucks to wait, it's better than a catastrophic failure while using it.
So when I get the new one I'll post a review of it.
I probably still wont be very active here until I get internet at my house. But I'll probably be lurking until then.
Welcome back , love that penobscot have one of my own ! How are you liking it

Welcome back , love that penobscot have one of my own ! How are you liking it Thanks. I love my penobscot bow, especially since I built it, it has a special place in my heart. I fixed the picture links on the build for it, so if you want to see the process it's there.

Holy cow!
I never really log in to my account since college year.
Well this is Thitiwut here. I'm the owner of Siamese Edge and designer for most of the blade we offer.
Would love to hear your review on the Dha. It should arrive sometime this week.

I will give it a fair review, from what I've seen in pictures so far it looks good.

So my new sword arrived Mon Over the next couple weeks I'll take pictures, test cut, and generally observe the sword for a review I'll post afterwards.
So far the sword is amazing and reaches my expectations.
