Show off your Chinese fighting knives :)

This has me wondering about a relic "bowie" style knife I have. Lathe turned bone grip, German silver mounts, and a blade with faint Chinese characters visible on it. The blade has the back chamfered for about half it's length as well as the typical bowie clip back. I will try and get photo's posted....my phone camera is bust, so I will have to get a friend to take some. It looks like one of those shown above. I assumed Chinese made for the western market, now I wonder if it is US made for local Chinese.
