Chinese daggers represent some of the most skillfully crafted weapons.
The daggers were apparently used as ritual objects in addition to their
use as weapons. Chinese daggers are distinctive pieces of ancient
weaponry found over most of the Chinese peninsula. The blade edges of
the daggers are usually sharp and the carving on the handle and blade
are done well. Some daggers are very elaborate and unwieldy and could
serve only ritual purposes. The Chinese daggers are seen as indespensible part of the basic paraphernalia of a Chinese. Ingeniously handcrafted, they are the famous traditional handcrafts of the Chinese. The daggers are of unique designs and exquisite workmanship serving not only as weapons, but also as ornaments. Based on the materials used and the level of craftsmanship in the making of the dagger, the prices of daggers can range heavily.
Most Chinese daggers have curved blades, and hilts made of either wood, horn, copper, and inlaid with fine designs and patterns of bright colors. The handles and blades are designed specifically for the kind of use they will get.
