Hello,

A while ago, a knife listed as a native American piece went on the bay for wuite a bit: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...0662&rd=1&rd=1

The knife is IMO magnificent, with a study blade and good craftsmanship. It strikes me as similar to a kindjal in some ways, and I am surprised by the quality of it. Does anyone have information on this type of knife and on which tribe produced them? Was the blade European or could it have been produced by First Nations people, just like the Tlingit people did?

Here is a pic from the listing for posterity.

Regards,
Emanuel
