Manchu Warrior Posted April 13, 2017 Share #4 Posted April 13, 2017 I have a knife like yours and so does another forum member. Here is a link if interested in looking at mine and what little information I have on the knife. Unfortunately the other members photos are no longer available. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/107307-my-new-knuckle-knife/?hl=%2Bchinese+%2Bjunk+%2Bknife&do=findComment&comment=798028 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
