Native american knife

I would think this is fairly recent. The blade appears stained but no
significant rusting or pitting. Looks like a factory grind. Also most
native Am. knives I've seen didn't have a ferrule, but less one pinned
in place. Looks like maybe solder joint between ferrule and blade????
Patina on blade, antler and sheath all look recent IMHO. I'm thinking
maybe a re-enactors piece? Just a guess.

The beadwork on the scabbard was done on a small loom and the large beads look plastic, along with the new leather. I agree with the need for more patina on the stag horn and the patina on the blade. It is recently made and by someone who is using non-Native style. Made for the market.
