Nice Chinese Bowie Knife For Comment

Absolutely beautiful.

Was this form specific to a working class or culture/specific group? I've often heard of this referred to as a "Pirate's knife" but not much else after this descrption.

VERY NICE INDEED! IS THE HANDLE WOOD? NICE DESIGNS AND SOMETHING I HAVE NOT SEEN BEFORE. IT WOULD MAKE A GOOD ADDITION TO THE EXAMPLES OF THESE IN THE PREVIOUS POST ON CHINESE FIGHTING KNIVES. CONGRADULATIONS

I don't have it in hand yet. When it arrives I will let you know what the hilt is made from but it looks like wood to me.

The knife arrived today. Let's see the forward guard is not fitted well because some idiot took the knife apart the butt shows signs of being drilled out and refitted with a nail. There is a huge dent or crushed area about a half inch long and 5/16 of an inch wide which is hard to make out on the photo

. I have not been having much luck with items on eBay of late. Contacted the seller and complained. Waiting for his response.
