Elegant in form and fierce in function, the 42" Burmese Dha is a timeless weapon rooted in the martial traditions of Myanmar and Southeast Asia. Designed for precision and cutting efficiency, this long saber features a gracefully curved, single-edged blade forged from high-quality stainless steel—ideal for both collectors and martial artists seeking durability with minimal maintenance.
The minimalist hilt reflects the practical design ethos of the region, with a smooth horn or hardwood grip accented by brass spacers and a slightly flared pommel for control during fluid strikes. True to traditional dha construction, it forgoes a guard, emphasizing speed, maneuverability, and simplicity in combat.
Whether displayed as a cultural piece or wielded with intent, this Burmese Dha balances heritage craftsmanship with modern materials.
The dha (or dah) has been used for centuries throughout Southeast Asia, particularly in Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. It served as both a weapon of war and a daily tool, carried by warriors, farmers, and monks alike. Its curved blade and lightweight design made it highly effective in the close-quarter jungle warfare common to the region. The dha became especially iconic during the Konbaung Dynasty of Burma, where it was used in military campaigns and ceremonial contexts.
Over time, its simple, utilitarian design evolved into a symbol of regional identity and martial discipline. The long-handled versions—like this 42" model—were typically favored by infantry and sword dancers, offering extended reach and flowing motion in combat and ritual.

Shipping times refer to carrier transit time after an item ships. They do not include production time, custom work, engraving, etching, or other preparation time before shipment.
In-stock items typically ship within 1 to 4 business days, though this can occasionally take longer during high-volume periods or for items requiring extra handling. Engraving or etching on in-stock items may add 1 to 3 business days before shipment.
Custom, engraved, altered, made-to-order, backordered, and specialty items (including armor and chess sets) may require additional production time before they ship. Fully custom items typically take 4 to 8 weeks, but complex requests may take longer depending on the design, materials, approvals, and production requirements.
Once an item ships, delivery time depends on the shipping method, carrier, and destination. If you need an item by a specific date, contact us before ordering so we can confirm whether the timeline is realistic.
In-stock items with no customizations can be returned free within 30 days, as long as they show no signs of use. Returns are handled through our return center.
