Tibetan waist knives

　　Tibetan waist knives serve decorative, self-defense, production, and daily life purposes. The most famous ones come from Lhasa, Lazi, Damxung, and Yigong. Typically, they feature intricate carvings of dragons, phoenixes, tigers, lions, and other patterns on copper sheaths, some adorned with gemstones and agates for a delicate, exquisite look. Lazi Tibetan knives are known for their sharp blades, elegant designs, sturdiness, and durability, and have been bestsellers both domestically and internationally for many years (Ali).
