Hi all!



Snatched this sino-vietnamese fighting knife for 10€ at the flea market this weekend! I'm pretty happy it, since I didn't have one of those in my collection yet, and especially for that price!



It's a long, heavy knife, with a very thick spine and slightly concave sides. Polish is pretty rough, don't know if it was always that way though. The grip is made of bone, with brass pommel and guard.



I read that those were used by the black flag army, which would make sense since I found it in France (the black flag army fought the French during the sino-french war 1884-1885).



Anyway, would love to hear your thoughts about it! 🙂
