Nice Chinese Bowie Knife For Comment
Just picked this up on eBay. Hilt is embellished with very nice carvings.

I like it!
How heavy? Differentially hardened? Chinese or American made? Are American ones differentially hardened? Are these to be seen with sanmei blades? How often? |

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
