Identification help

[Rachel Busch]

Hey Everyone,
I'm trying to find more information on a new knife. I need a push in the right direction on where it could have come from so I can do more research.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Rachel, there’s a lot of folks on here that would be willing to help, but you have to use a hosting site to post your pics. Here is a screen shot of the one I use. Just download you image, hit direct link, and attach the URL on this site.

Thanks for pointing that out. I had the same website but I didnt fully upload it. I think this worked better because I can see the images. I'm sorry I dont have the best image quality.

It is from Tibet, late 19th - early 20th century. I've never seen a proper name for them, but they were used as a utility knife or part of a trousse eating set.

We can see the images.

What you have is a utility knife from Nepal. I believe it is usually worn as a neck knife.
