Hey thanks Timo! That's probably the best information I've seen regarding Chinese fighting knives! Good to see real antique throwing knives in those old photos. A lot of those ring daggers reminds me of Cold Steel's.  A lot of badass looking daos in those photos too. I can't tell if any where actually good sanmei blades or not because of the photo quality of the time. |

There's a reason why it's called the "Shanghai Shadow"!

Yeah the CS Shanghai Shadow is a hell of a knife! In the comments he explained how the Fairbairn Sykes dagger was also inspired by Chinese knife designs in Shanghai! Definitely worthy of further research especially for CMA students.
