Here are a couple more. The first was taken in Chiang Mai Thailand the other was of the "knife guy" in a meat market in Bangkok. The sharpening stone photo doesn't really show how deeply dished it is. Looked like you could use it for a soup bowl. The meat cutter using pushed his knife straight up and down vertically but he wouldn't let me photograph him doing it. View attachment 12543View attachment 12544View attachment 12545

[Crothcipt]

sweet looking, but what would you use that for? Looks like the horn would hurt you more than the blade would hurt anyone else.

 

[steeley]

Well you could hang out with people like this with your new goat horn knife; you would be so cool:laughat:

Ginger was already known in China in the first millennium BC if not earlier, where it had been cultivated in the southern and central provinces. It has a long and illustrious history in China and was used during the Han period.
