Sioux Warrior-!2.75" with a 7"blade. This "napped steel" blade is hand forged from leaf spring steel in a coal fire then faceted to create a beautiful usable blade that has the look, on first glance, of napped flint. The handle is made from a New Mexico Elk leg bone. It looks like the blade is tied into the bone,but it really has a 3.5" tang that extends deep into the handle that is epoxied and pinned with a steel pin. The bone handle is wrapped with tanned deer hide and then hand stitched. The leather wrap is finished with Native art symbols that are burned into the leather. To top it all off, the sheath, which is custom made for the knife and come with the knife is made in Native fashion. It starts with heavy cowhide, that is hand sewn with sinew thread, and then wrapped with even more tanned white tail deer skin that was harvested and tanned by the artist, David. This beautiful sheath is heavily fringed with antique trade beads (some beads over 100 yrs old) that are tied into the fringe. The lower part of the sheath is beaded with tiny red glass seed beads. You will even find a couple of white tail deer toes in the fringe. Also, on the fringe is a real coptic cross that has the look of trade silver. On the front is a disc of real natural turquoise. This knife is made to use. It is hard, sharp and ready to go. $425

The blade is "napped steel" hand forged in a coal fire from hard leaf spring steel. The blade is then faceted to give the look of napped flint. The blade is set in a real New Mexico Elk leg bone that is glued and also pinned with a steel pin. The handle is wrapped with natural deer skin leather that had been burn etched with the traditional bear claw tracks. The sheath is made from thick cow hide that is wrapped again with tanned white tail deerskin. Under the deer skin the leather is hand stitched and also riveted with copper rivets to keep the blade from cutting the stitching. The fringe is hand cut and antique trade beads are tied into the fringe along with natural bone and antler tip. On the front of the sheath is a real piece of turquoise and the lower stitching has hand applied glass seed beads(glass beads). The blade is sharp on both sides like a dagger but one side is a smooth cutting edge and the other is serrated like a real flint blade would be. Perfect for skinning a large animal like deer or elk. You may be tempted to display this knife on the shelf, but its made to use, so get it out in the field and do some hunting. $415
