*Chinese Husa/Achang Knife with ornate sheath, made in Chengdu*

This is a lovely Husa knife made in Chengdu.

The hilt covering is covered in shagreen. Sheath and pommel are brass and are ornately engraved on the front with a dragon. The blade is made out of nickel plated steel with a small narrow central fuller. Left handed blade. Blade measures 19cm or 7.6”, 28.5cm or 11 1/4″ total. The Chinese makers mark on the ricasso indicate that this as made in Chengdu.

A Husa knife, also sometimes called Achang knife, is a traditional forged weapon of the Achang people of China. The Achang live mainly in the village of “Husa”, and smaller villages nearby, in the Yunnan Province, near the border between China and Burma. Chegdu is in the neighbouring province of Sichuan. Husa knives are made with a special process which gives the metal a pure texture and a really sharp and durable blade. The handles and sheaths are also engraved making each knife a work of art.

Each Achang family keeps at least one knife of high quality. When young Achang men get married, they carry back knives to show their heroic vitality.

*Condition.*
Blade is in very good condition with just a few nicks by the tip and on the flat edge. The original leather belt strap looks like its been “repaired” with modern fabric. Please refer to images as part of the condition report.
