hi thanks , yes , these are nice knives, ive got some place a taiwanese friction folder with a bras bird shaped handle , looks influence by the japanese higonokami.
how much do these taiwanese knives sell for??

the uighur knives are not chinese though, and have nothing in common with traditional chinese knives... .. turco-iranian .. http://yengisar.com/en/index.asp# here is a working link

i was after information about chinese knives, ive seen many "bowie style" chopping knives and small utility belt knives with clip point blades, and also machete like knives,
as well as several styles of dagger that are chinese,, but alas i cant find any photos of these style of weapon,
some ove seen look like big bowie knives with s shaped guards, others more like small bowie knives with pinned grips and a rather unpointed clip point blade. among many other styles.. .

the folding knives from Shih-ling can be a bit expensive. About $116 for a 4" bladed one. I hope to get one someday. However, remember this is one of the only known traditional makers of these knives. Taiwanese (Sino and Aboriginal) cutlery is dying out, quickly being replaced by cheap factory-made pieces.
