Hmong Knife
Hello All,
Here is a Hmong knife I took a picture of today at a Hmong festival. The handle is made of horn. Just like thai monks knifes this usually is blessed, but for Hmong by a shaman or elder, then they put it under their pillow to protect them from spirits....Those who I know that use it are typically girls....so take note...never sneak up and startle a Hmong woman!!!!
