Trade Knife

This pic was saved as “Crow 1880″…A simple pouch sheath with some decorations…
.
The knife was probably a ‘Green River” or similar, sharpened to death with some rawhide stitched over the old handle, maybe as a repair for split wood…These pics have intrigued me, who made it, who used it and sharpened away half the blade, where did the decorations come from,ect…We are talking 1880, no Crazy Crows then...….
Here’s my interpretation of a trade knife with native sheath…The knife I found alongside the river in St. Louis, just the end of the handle sticking up..…Both ends of the handle were worn away so I poured a bolster and buttcap from pewter…I done some repairs on the split wood with wire and rawhide…The sheath is a pouch “Crow” style where the belt goes over and threw the slot….The body is a scrap side from an old rifle scabbard, a little beading and cones added for frills….
Maybe someday someone else will look at it and wonder……Randy
