In Thailand we called his name is "Ko-Neaw or Sala Boontan" he is one of Living Legend of The Sword&Knife Blacksmith in Thailand his place is in Hang-Chat,Lampang Province (North of Thailand), his Sword & Knife is traditional & good quality, I have one of his Sword northern style(Dab bai kaw 24") in my collection.
I am looking forward getting mine. I ordered one from him and one from the other Master in Lampang 4 months ago. I got one, but his when i ask him about the one he makes for me he says, you will get sometimes it this year :) . Worth the wait though
Elderly Thai people have poor accent, mostly can't even speak English, but yeah he say "Australia". they have lots of mispronounce foreign word that became wildly known in the country and they didn't know what they really calls, but in younger generations, their English are pretty good though, only lower class and uneducated person making mistakes lie misspelled "Legend" to "Regent" lol.
I wouldn't think so but I know theres a few roadside stalls in Chiangmai to Lampang that sells them. In fact they have amazing assortments of knives etc
Not really. I practice HEMA here in Thailand. We prefer to have the swords and feders shipped in from Europe. We do have some people making very good synthetic models though, such as the company "Freell". And Thailand has it's own double edged sword called "phrakhan". But it is quite different from a European longsword or short-sword. It's more similar to a gladius or early Celtic bronze age sword.
I am not convinced. I have seen many high quality daab in grung thep and they are crap. The most skillfull part of the package is the beautiful inlaid sheaths-they are a true work of art but contribute nothing to the functionality of the blade. Most of the local smiths(krung thep and surrounding areas) use truck springs(nothing wrong with that-good quality medium carbon steel ideal for a sword length blade) All the nlades i have seen are purely functional and at the low end. Most still have hammer marks and some still have forging scale. All have grind marks. Comparethis to japanese blades(tool or weapon) and they are mikes behind. Even mid quality chinese(for export)blades are superior
Sure you're not being scammed? Similar thing going on here in Malaysia except the flagship knives perform as well as the standard ones though they should last alot longer as the handles are made out of really good wood, and the steel seems to hard an edge better,all hand made too.You want a good knife?Then head over to Bidor,just remember to sharpen them when get them and they'll last you a real long time.
Well all you gotta remember is though it may look good and cost alot,that doesn't mean it's a good knife.Sometimes there might be things that you'll have to fix yourself such as (for example) the edge coming in dull,you can put a razor sharp edge on for cheap if you know how.
@@johnymcmememan2151 sorry but i dispute "razor sharp edge". As a straight razor maker/user "razor sharp" is the most missused term for knives. Cutting hair off your arm can be achieved with a 1200 grit stone or paper. I have a jatana that can do that but you cannot shave with a 1200 grit edge. It requires at least 8000grit stones and alit of expert stropping
I i remember well one can see weapon similar to Daab on Angkok Wat reliefs, which are 8 or 900 years old. And in Thai, a Dah is not a Daab but a Krabi. I am not going into the complicated history between Burma and Siam, but you know as well as me they invaded each other for 2 centuries. So there is no stealing anything here, it is just common history and heritage

Did you get one, how much is actual cost. Thank You.
How did you get in touch with the bladesmith?
@@MegaTrespasser About 4000THB, but it is a long wait
Almost every individual swordsmiths have 3+ months wait time
I will be going to Thailand early next year. Where can I go to get one of these.
ให้คุณไปที่จังหวัดอยุธยาที่ตรงนั้นจะทำดาบขายครับ
How can we get a hold of him, how do we co tact him to place an order?
I second thisquestion!
He said the metal is K990 from AUSTRIA, not Australia

Thaitsuki swords are katanas made by Samurai that settled in Thailand.
They make the shortsword/daggers that you see near the end of the vdo.
