The Mongolian knife is both a daily article and status symbol; all will look down on a man without his knife. The blade is made of steel while the handle is made of ox horn and red wood. The camel-shaped Mongolian knife is particularly worth mentioning, as the body is made of redwood or birch while the handle is made from ox horn and camel bone.
