Mongolian Knives

　　Mongolian knives mainly include the Mongolian knife and the Wangjie waist knife.

The blade of the Mongolian knife is generally made from high-quality steel, ranging in length from over ten centimeters to several tens of centimeters. The handles and sheaths are exquisitely crafted, available in various materials such as steel, silver, ox horn, and bone; the surfaces of the handles and sheaths feature intricate patterns, some inlaid with enamel and gemstones.

The Wang’s waist knife employs a robust Mongolian inlay technique combined with filigree craftsmanship. The handle is shaped like the ceremonial brimmed hat worn by Mongolian princes, while the top of the sheath resembles an eagle’s head. The body of the sheath is adorned with a pattern of two golden flowers with eight petals enclosing pearls, and a small dragon lies on the scabbard’s belt hook, giving the Wang’s waist knife a vibrant and lively appearance.
