Introduction: Since ancient times, all over the world has been a constant conquest, and peace is often not too long. In ancient times, the weapons used in warfare were cold weapons, so the status of cold weapons was very high. Speaking of cold weapons, throughout the history of the world, the most powerful voice should be China. For example, in ancient times, people often said that they were proficient in eighteen martial arts and omnipotent, but in fact, this refers to eighteen kinds of weapons.
Napoleon's knife
In Chinese history, people have invented far more than eighteen kinds of cold weapons, all kinds of strange shapes, and there are a bunch of names that cannot be named, but there is also a saying called, the more strange the weapon, the faster it will die. In fact, if it is a strange weapon, often the other party does not know its moves, when used will produce unexpected effects, it is worth mentioning that the most lethal cold weapons in history are often bland.
If you don't shoot, you have already done it, and if you shoot, you need the other party's life. Back to the point, there are many cold weapons that have been preserved to this day, and many collectors are salivating. So the three most expensive cold weapons auctioned so far, do you know which ones? The first is Napoleon's golden saber, whose life is very legendary and has created many miracles, and his knife has sold for six and a half million US dollars, which is already a sky-high price.
Ear dagger
Ear dagger, this weapon is believed to be very strange, this product is produced in North Africa, because the disc on its handle resembles an ear, so people call him the ear dagger, once there was a high price of six million dollars at auction, it is incomprehensible, of course, since someone is willing to spend this price, there must be a reason. The most expensive is Qianlong's weapon, Qianlong this person is famous in history shangwu, he ordered people to build ninety waist knives, took nearly half a century.
These waist knives are divided into three kinds of heaven and earth, almost all of which are now collected in the Palace Museum, once the Tianzi Seventeenth Treasure Sword, appeared at the auction in Nanjing, causing a sensation for a while, because its historical value is too high, and finally auctioned for nearly fifty million, which is the highest price in the history of the current cold weapon auction, interestingly, in fact, these can not be called the most expensive cold weapons.

Why are these not the most expensive? The reason is simple, there are many weapons of greater historical significance than theirs, but those weapons, which will never be auctioned, are properly kept by the state.
