The mandarin duck knife was not Mr. Jin Yong's work but Mr. Gu Long's novel.
The mandarin duck knife and the white horse howling in the west wind were both classic weapons that appeared in Mr. Jin Yong's novels, but their sense of existence might be different in different situations. The mandarin duck knife was a weapon that appeared relatively early in Mr. Jin Yong's novels. It was mentioned in the Book and Sword Gratitude and Revenge Record, but it first appeared in the Return of the Condor Heroes. The mandarin duck knife was a small and exquisite short sword with a slender body and a small handle that was easy to carry around. Although the mandarin duck knife appeared many times in the novel, its image was not deeply rooted in people's hearts and its presence was relatively low. In contrast, the white horse howling in the west wind was a weapon that appeared relatively late in Mr. Jin Yong's novels. It was mentioned in "Journey of Chivalrous Men" but first appeared in "Snow Mountain Flying Fox". The white horse was a white horse with a long neck and a tall head. It carried a famous long sword on its back. The blade was slender and the handle was small. There was even a gem embedded on the handle. Although the image of the White Horse Roaring West Wind was very cool, its frequency of appearance was lower than that of the Mandarin Duck Blade, and its presence was relatively low. Therefore, from the image and frequency of appearance in the novel, the existence of the mandarin duck knife might be lower than the white horse howling in the west wind.
