Tibetan or Mongolian knives?

Hi Bettendorf,
I think that these are authentic Tibetan knives of the late 19th, early 20th century. Typical of them is hand made Blade, bone's handle, scabard made from metal, wood, leather and silver. I think it is worth your purchase.Here is another Tibetan knife from the late 19th century.

I also think these knives are genuine utility knives. Here's my example. I don't think these are as old as 19th century though. More likely mid 20th C.

Gentleman,

I have a small pile of these, they were all purchased in Tibet about 10 years ago and I was told that some folks were still wearing and using these at that time but the people there are fast modernizing. These date from late 19 th to late 20 th century.

Best,
Jerry
