Knife-making masters from various parts of the Fergana Valley took part in the exhibition. They presented the distinctive traditions of the Kokand school of knife making, its exquisite ornamentation and unique pieces crafted with great skill.

Kokand knives embody the region’s rich cultural heritage and craft traditions, and they attract many foreign and domestic tourists visiting the Fergana Valley. Visiting craft workshops, watching knives being made first-hand and seeing the artisans’ skill up close leave especially unforgettable impressions on guests from both abroad and within the country.

Besides widely promoting national handicraft traditions, such exhibitions play an important role in enriching the tourism offer of the Fergana Valley and attracting visitors to the region. They also give guests a chance to get to know national culture and crafts up close.
