Asians and knives, is it just me or just coincidental

+1 for korea, though i grew up in the south in the sticks. i met some korea natives who were interested in knives as well which did surprise me considering the knife laws in japan/korea. interest is there.
 
I'm asian and I dont consider Filipino asian, their more south east asia which aint the same thing at all. not being racist, its just a fact! chinese, japanese, koreans are asian.
 
there are more chinese people in the world then nearly all other races put together so its not a secret that a lot of asians like knifes.
 
BTW, if you encounter someone who calls himself "Liu Kang," or any of his other names, don't buy from him. He'll rip you off; he gives us a bad name.

!people from asia are knife aware. omg -if you can make the connection between the oldest implement the human race uses after the finger it shouldn't be that much of a surprise.
cheers.
 
Techincally half of Russia, all the Stan countries, India and the middle east are Asian so that's about 2\3's of the world's population.

Yep, I'm Filipino and we're probably more indo-malayan than asian.
 
korean, chinese, japanese are sino asian. It's just semantics.

To me, asians are from south to east to south east :) of course anyone I know down here that like knives are asians by that definition :P
 
Every single one of my Filipino friends carries a knife. To paraphrase Neal Stephenson, "In my experience Filipinos are warm, friendly and welcoming. Which is a good thing since so many of them carry concealed weapons."
 
My father just recently gave me his balisong which he purchased in the Philippines shortly before immigrating to the US in the 1980s. I made it up to him by getting him an HI Parang this past Christmas.

My mother also likes to talk about all the knives her family had working in a meat market in the Philippines as a young child.

We Filipinos love our knives. :)
 
Check out Virtual voice on youtube. He is an Asian and a doctor. He does all kinds of knife videos and a lot of him using the knives on animals he kills.He has some of the best knife related videos on youtube in my opinion.
 
Its no coincidence that we still struggle to match what the master bladesmiths in Japan were doing 500 years ago. They were the Jack Parsons (Rocket Scientist JPL) of the metalurgical world. We often forget how young the US is. We havent even got our training wheels off in comparison to Japan and China. If only we were as polite and honored our patriarchs and matriarchs as they do.
But the blade culture has been so dominant in most asian culrures. In daily life through death.
Now if we could only get Newt Gingrich to commit Seppuku :-)
 
I'm German. I'm Indonesian (golok, klewang, kris, parang are all in their blade culture). I'm Chinese (too many sharp implements for me to list). I'm American. I speak 3 of the four as languages as well. Two of the four cultures in my background are heavily into knives, the other one is quite draconian in terms of knives, and the fourth varies by state law.
 
I'm Asian and nobody in my family or any Asian friends I know gives a crap about knives or guns.

I came across him recently. I could not agree more!

EDIT: The one I'm thinking of calls himself virtuovice (not Virtual voice), but maybe we're talking of the same one?
 
Another Filipino here..my dad was born in the provence where balisongs originated from and he has a few that was given to him by my grandfather from like the ww2 era. He's always bragging about how the steel was made from leaf springs off of the jeeps that that we're brought over by the Americans.
