INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH AUTHENTIC NATIVE AMERICAN KNIVES ARE MOSTLY JUST REGULAR KNIVES AQUIRED FROM TRADERS AND WERE THE SAME AS THE ONES USED BY THE SETTLERS. THE TRIBES THOUGHT OF THEM AS VERY VALUEABLE AND A THING TO BE PROUD OF WHILE THE SETTLERS JUST THOUGHT OF THEM AS A TOOL AND TOOK THEM FOR GRANTED.
NATIVE AMERICANS DECORATED THEIRS UP WHILE SETTLERS JUST CARRIED THEM IN A SIMPLE SHEITH. WARRIORS WERE NO BETTER ARMED THAN THE FRONTIER LADYS KITCHEN WHEN IT CAME TO KNIVES

MOST BEAD WORK WAS DONE BY THE WOMEN FOR THE MEN, THEY LIKED TO SHOW OFF THEIR SKILLS AND MAKE THEIR WARRIOR LOOK GOOD.
