Title: Trade knife from K. Snow
Post by: osage outlaw on June 07, 2018, 04:45:04 pm

I got this awesome knife on the trade blanket at the Marshall Shoot.  I put a fresh edge on it with the sharpening kit from KHalverson and now it will pop the hair off my arm.  Kyle gave me some information on the knife but by the time I made it home I had forgot it.  Anyway, I really like this knife and it will get some blood on it this fall.

Glad you like the knife Clint. It was made by Harrison Vest, he used to make a lot of knives for the rendezvous crowd around here. The silhouette is similar to a Green River, but the blade is much heavier. It is based on a knife from Madison Grant's backcountry knives book. Its seen a fair share of blood already, hope it sees more this fall.

Real nice!  I like Green Rivers, but wish they were a bit heavier.  That is a real fine knife.

That could pass for a frontier knife any time from the late 1500's up to the 1840's and beyond.
