I have an interest in these little knives but can add only knowledge from others, see here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ight=Eunjangdo

Hi Detlef,
Thanks for your input on this. I think all that can be said about these knives is included in both this thread and your thread. There seems to be a paucity of information re Korean arms and armour in all of its forms so I guess any info is a plus.
My Regards,
Norman.

Hi Norman,

Yes, I agree completely with you. These small knives are very nice. And there is not much documented about Korean blades.

Detlef

I really like these too. Here's a pic of one I've had for while.
I found an informative post on Korean silver a few years ago when I was researching it. Probably worth a share as information on these is so scarce.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your Eunjangdo. It's very nice and obviously a more upmarket version than mine with the gold highlights. Information on these is really scarce so the link you've provided is a really great addition.
On another note, connected but different, I came across some of my grandmothers bits and pieces recently and in amongst them was a large hatpin. I wondered if these long and very pointy hatpins were ever used in a similar fashion to Eunjangdo re self defence. I found the following links quite informative.
My Regards,
Norman.
