Description:
|
Genuine Fur Trade era knife. This Sanderson of Sheffield piece has been in my collection for about 10 years. It was likely part of a table set, but now makes an awesome neck or pouch knife.
Overall, the knife is 9" long with the blade being a little over 5" from the tip to the integral cast bolster. The handle is one piece of either bone or antler, well worn with a beautiful caramel color; held on by one iron pin. The butt of the knife looks to be a piece of brass pinned to the handle with two brass pins. The blade is marked with the maker logo and name along with the mark "Cast Steel".
I made the sheath with deer rawhide as a liner, covered in smoked braintan buckskin. The front upper part of the sheath is Lazy Stitch beaded with #13 glass beads in a traditional Native pattern.
The sheath is also decorated with very old antique hand made metal beads, antler drop, and genuine bone hairpipe with braintan buckskin lace.
Sheath shows some darkening from usage, but is very nice and very authentic in appearance. It can be worn around the neck due to the lightness of the entire piece.
Shipping is included in the asking price and buyer will kindly use PayPal to make payment.
Please email me direct mmck@triad.rr.com or call me; Mike @ 336.757.2036 if you have any questions.
