I was thinking today about knives that are culturally/nationally significant? Without getting into all the military and culinary offerings, I was thinking about knives that are quickly associated with a given culture/nation?
For example, in the US, that might mean the Bowie, the Barlow, the canoe, the Stockman and the Trapper. In Canada it might mean the Grohmann Knife. In Italy, the stiletto. In Japan, the Higonokami. In the Czech Republic, the Rybička or fish knife. In France both the Opinel and the Laguiole knives. In Nepal the famous khukuri.
I was curious about other such cultural/national knives, both folders and fixed blades? Thanks.
