Most exquisite Tibetan knives come from the hands of skilled craftsmen. Due to the delicate forging, exquisite engraving, eye-catching colors, and Tibetan language, forming unique Tibetan crafts. AND THE TIBETAN SCRIPTS AND PATTERNS ON THE SCABBARD AND THE HANDLE OF THE KNIVES ALSO REPRESENT THE BLESSINGS OF AUSPICIOUSNESS, SAFETY AND PROTECTION. So especially when a friend moves, marries, or has a newborn baby, sending the Tibetan knife will make the owner extremely happy. Tibetans will receive their first Tibetan knife when they are seven years old, and Tibetan knives are often used as a gift for newborn babies.
 
In the lives of Tibetans, Tibetan knives have four purposes: production tools, life tools, self-defense weapons, and adornments. Initially, Tibetan knives were tools for the production, life, and defense tools on the snowy plateau during the long-term wild nomadic state. With the adaptation and improvement of outdoor defense and living environment, Tibetan knives have evolved into special products with aesthetic values in craftsmanship and gradually formed a custom of taking a Tibetan knife as an accessory.
