I recently acquired this crude village-made blacksmith knife and I'm not sure as to what I have. I've been told everything from a Civil War Bowie, to an Indian Trade Knife, a Mountaineer's blade, etc. and I also realize that it could be a modern copy. I like the wear and tear and the traces of the file it was made from.
It comes with a scabbard which fits , but is too short; obviously, the top has broken off and the remaining metal throat seems to fit the sheath and the knife, however, that may not be the case that it belongs with this dagger. This is probably one I'll never figure out, but a consensus. It measures 16.25" and 1 & 5/8" at its widest. |
