My Old Butcher Knife

(1/1)

Shotgun Steve:
I found this old butcher at a second hand shop. I paid $1.00 for it. The blade is unmarked but takes and holds an edge you can shave with. The handle looks like black ash burl?? Its my favorite butcher knife.

Steve:
That was a dollar well spent. That knife would look right at home on the belt of a frontiersman, mountain man or buffalo hunter, as well as in the kitchen of the homestead. Is the bolster cast pewter? Whatever, it was a quality item when it was new. I'd love to know its history.

Shotgun Steve:
Howdy Kid....yes Sir the bolster is cast pewter. I don't know if the handles are original to the knife but they are a nice looking piece of wood. Take care.
