Knives: origin???
I got them in a moment of moral weakness....
They are just too pretty. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=360075222426 Now, the question: are they truly Tibetan or more Northern, such as Dzhungar, Buryat etc? |

Guys,
Sorry for bumping it up: bad manners  But I just cannot believe that nobody here knows more about these knives! How about some effort to help an ignorant friend? ( I am being a bit manipulative, I know...) |

Well Ariel, the pictures aren't all that good to go on....however, from what i can tell, and i know little on the subject, Tibet could well be the origin of these knives. Here's a link to a thread on a knife i own which i believe to be Tibetan. Note the similarities in the hilt construction.

Those are from the Black Sea area Ariel.
No really they are Tibetan probably around Chinese takeover period |

I just saw the "pics" from e-bay... Indeed, horror.... But, still, I did not mean Dom's knives... I'll have to make my own pics and post them. They look much older than Dalai Lama's silverware. And, as the origin goes, I was thinking exactly along the lines of Ausjulius in the earlier thread. |

Ariel, here is another thread where we discussed this Bao An vs. Tibetan ID. I feel fairly confident that my example, and probably yours as well, are not Bao An and are probably Tibetan, but again, this is not my area of knowledge.
