Indian Trade Knives ~ Early American Weaponry

Early Horn Knife ~ Blacksmith Made 1850
An essential accouterment of the American Indian was the knife. It was a tool and weapon carried at all times for ready use. My fascination for Indian and Frontier knives has developed into a collection of over 200 early primitive knives. My focus is on handmade or blacksmith made knives of the frontier, used by both the white frontiersman as well as the Native Americans. My period of interest is from 1725-1890. I look for a combination of character, patina, and crafty construction when I seek out new knives for my collection.
