This is a blacksmith crafted primitive butcher knife from the late 1800's. The knife has an overall length of 17 1/4" and a blade length of 12 3/4". The round wood handle is attached to the blade tang through the use of a recessed nut threaded onto the tang. The blade is pitted along the entire length on both sides, this one spent some time out in the weather. Someone tried to clean up the edge in the not to distant past, and it is still fairly sharp. This one came into the shop along with a Russell Green River skinning knife and a Foster Brothers Gold Star butcher knife. I have a feeling these spent some time out west when the Buffalo was becoming extinct! This old blacksmith made butcher knife has some serious eye appeal, and would look right at home in a western themed collection, trapper/trader or Native American collection!
