Northern Plains/ Mountain Man Tacked Knife Sheath w/Knife, C. 1870

A great tacked knife sheath and knife. The sheath is made from old saddle leather with square brass tacks. The knife is typical high quality frontier manufactured brass buttons and Ferrule clip point blade. Knife 13 1/4"; Blade 8 1/2"; Sheath 11 1/2" x 3 3/4".

A little late for our period but an interesting piece anyway.

How do !

The Indians and Pakistanis have copied this knife.

Late?

Naw. It goes well with post 1870 snow white Reservation Peiod tipis, post 1920's lean-to's, and post 1970's guns.

Just a-funnin'...

Dean Hazuka makes a Hudson Bay knife very similar to this. His company is Montana Americana, Marion, MT
