Show off your Chinese fighting knives :)

Great idea for a thread. I think more discussions on Chinese arms are in order.

Here is one that I sold about a year ago. I had several pictures of it in the past, but can only find this one now.

It was part of a pair at one time. Note the thin copper guard and stacked leather grip. Not as nicely made as your example. Although the impressive variety is one of the things that makes Chinese arms so interesting.

I definitely agree! Great Thread! Often these knives do not get as much attention as the other Chinese weapons, however a knife is usually reasonably available and easier to conceal.

Gentleman,

These 3 knives came from China within the past 6 years in a container of Chinese antiques. Don't know much about them except they look pretty old. The largest is 18 1/4" overall. Any comments welcome.

Best Regards,
Jerry
