Good questions Josh. If you look in the thread linked to my example you will see that Ausjulius also mentions the Baoan.
"...the knife in the pick ,, looks to be baoan ... a moslem mongolian ethnic group from china..
language and culture is mixed between uzbek and mongols.. and some others"
Since i also own one of these i am equally interested in nailing down it's cultural origins. More than one source have also put these forth as Tibetan so the answer isn't at all clear to me at this point. They are nice little knives regardless, but i would still like to find a definitive answer on whose nice little knives they are.
