Howdy folks, Two Feathers here:
This time I’m not saying what it is. I got enough grief over the PC thing last time, so you call it whatever you’d like. I call it a Large Buffalo Hunter. It’ll look great tucked into your sash or on your belt! The price is $130.00 + $15.00 S&H USD$ to any of the 50 united states.

The knife is 11” long overall. It has a 1-1/2” wide, 3/32" thick blade made of 1095 high carbon steel. This blade is razor sharp. The handle is nicely "flame figured" Curly Maple. It’s held on with (3) 1/8” Iron pins. The handle is sanded, buffed, and wax sealed.

The Mountain Man style sheath is made of 5 oz. Vegetable tanned tooling leather. The sheath is dyed medium Brown with my custom made dye. It has been “X” stitched with artificial sinew in natural color, for a period correct....LOOK!

There is a second line of stitching for added strength. The sheath has a welt to protect the stitches from the cutting edge. The sheath also has a 2-1/2” wide belt or sash slot cut into it.

This one will get you noticed! No self-respecting Buffalo Hunter, would be caught with anything less than this beauty. So if your Persona is an 1800's Buffalo Hunter, you need this knife tucked in your belt! This knife will make short work of one of those mangy 2,000 pound critters! Oh...it
lt'll take care of a Deer; Moose, or Elk, pretty easily too.
Please buy American and support our local craftsmen, Thank you.

I ship/sell to Canada, but all prices are in USD$ to the 50 United states. Shipping outside of the US is costly. Prices will vary accordingly.

I prefer PayPal, but I also accept postal and bank money orders. MO’s will add 1 week for travel time. I ship same day as funds are received, the exceptions are Federal holidays, Sundays, PO hours, and severe weather.



If interested PM me here. As always, thanks for looking.

God bless:

Two Feathers

I would call that a knife! It's gorgeous!

Nothing wrong with calling it a "Buffalo Hunter," but I would call it a "camp knife." Bear in mind "camping" in the first half of the 19th century might include dismembering large animals, chopping wood for fire or to build a war lodge, or even digging a rifle pit to defend your camp from unwanted guests. It also reminds me of some of the big, hand-forged butcher knives carried by los Ciboleros, the New Mexican buffalo hunters who traveled out onto the plains every year to lance bison and lay in a supply of meat, tallow, and hides for their own use and for trade. These people had a truce and a trading relationship with the Comanches, and they sometimes encountered the Santa Fe traders. They evidently preferred knives made by local blacksmiths over anything they could obtain in trade.

I didn't mean to ramble... Sorry! The knife is a beauty!

Don't EVER apologize for edumacatin' me. I'm always thankful for your historical accuracy on my work. I've made these in the past and called them Camp knives. I just thought it sounded better to say Buffalo Hunter? :thumb: ;)

I'll be more careful in the future. After that last kerfuffle, I'm a bit gun shy! :dunno::ThankYou:
Thank you also for your compliment; I'm truly humbled by it. Your encouragement means a lot to me.
God bless:
