Green River Knives

I have always been interested in the number of different style blades that were available from Green River. I have three different ones and would like to find some info on exactly what was available and their time frames.
Here is one of mine that I found the other day in an old box of renedevous gear. The handles were broken and the blade was chipped, as you can see, so I did a little refit and reshaping on the handles to bring it back to life.

Thanks Rick. I hate to see a good knife go to waste and I think she looks pretty good with them osage orange slabs on' er. The chip in the blade actually worked out to look pretty good after a slight rework and deburring

Thanks Dave, that one has been at a lot more campfires than I have. It was about 20 yrs old when I got it 20 years ago.

GB,
Is the blade marked Russell Green River Works? Most butcher knives from the period had 5 or on the larger one 6 small iron pins holding the handle on the blade. The ones with the 2 or 3 brass rivets are mostly after 1900.

When I started making knives I would buy Green River blade blanks from Dixie Gun Works and put handles on them. I gave tham all away over time. I find them to be excellent working blades and I like the style. Most of the handles I made were curly maple, buffalo horn and stag. You knife is a keeper. Don't give it away like I did.

Dr Bob , at one time you could still make out "Green River" on the blade. It was etched, but it is long since disappeared. I figure the knifes actual age at about 40 yrs.
Messerist, I think thats how this one started out.
