hello, well im after some info ,
there was a chap on another forum, a knife forum, that wanted information about traditional chinese knives,
not the mongolian style belt knives that were popular in china during the manchus, or knives from ethnic groups that are currently under chinese control ,like tibetian or turkmen or mongol styles.

but actual chinese styles of knives and folding knives,
i am familiar with many of the styles , but when i tryed to search to find some images , the only ones i could find were of the little fish shaped friction folders..

i couldnt even find any pics of the taiwanese clasp knives..

has anyone got any details or any links to sites that might have more information in traditional chinese knife styles.
both utility belt knives and fighting knives or working choppers..
