hi, i am always on the hunt for chinese "commom people" or "working people's" pocket knives, or smal belt knives. prior to 1949, going down to the start of the revolution. they are never in very good shape. mostly they are the fish-shaped and the horn handled, short-bladed type used for scoring the opium poppies. but , there are regular old one-blades w/ wood handles that show up too. no ceremonial stuff--usually fakes. will trade for a lot of different things i have collected. hal
