The above LP Doem Meedmoh is an original authentic item, it's the early period creation. Please notice the skillful chisel punching on the blade and the candlewax-like sheath. The word Meedmoh is folk word means medic knife. But it really has two beautiful formal names: a.Meed Dhep Sattra = the God's knife b: Meed Prab Pairee = conquering knife. |
Professional Hints |
Verification on LP Doem's Meed Moh: a.The handcrafted blade design was punched by special chisels. Any blade that was punched by machine, it's fake knife. b. Only 3 artisans that were hired by Wat NongPho temple to make Meed Moh, i.e. Charng Chim, Charng Khai, Charng Sorn. The word Charng = skilled artisan. Each of them has his own skill, so a real expert could "read" the design who made it. c. Small knife sheath and handle were made of ivory-tusk.
The early period knives carried high age of more than 70 years, so the sheath and handle
look greasy like yellow candle wax. |
