Jicarilla Apache #4- The fourth in the Jicarilla Apache series, this heavy, tough knife is 11.25" long with a 6.75" blade. It is made from high carbon leaf spring steel that is hand forged in a real coal fire. The steel starts out thick and wide and is hand stretched by fire and hammer to a nice thickness and length. The blade is then faceted to give it the flaked flint look. The handle is Alaskan Moose antler flat that is split and applied with solid brass pins. The Sunburst etching on the white side of the antler is real scrimshaw (scrached and filled with ink). The full tang is also fully etched with an authentic zigzag pattern. What you cant see is that the heavy handle tang has been drilled to lighten the knife. The beautiful sheath is custom made for the knife and comes with it. It is made from heavy cowhide leather and then covered with tanned deer skin. The beads are antique trade beads and a real cowlry shell. The seam is stitched with real glass seed beads. On the back of the knife you can see that the belt loop is attached with 3 heavy copper rivits. This razor sharp knife is beautiful to look at but it is made to use. You will be proud to wear this unique functional piece of art. $330

Jicarilla Apache #3- This knife is 10.25" long with a 6" blade.

The handle is wrapped with tanned deer skin made by David himself from a deer that he shot last year(2015). The leather is hand sewn and has burned Native American etchings on the leather. The Jicarilla Apache #3 comes with its own handmade, custom sheath. It is made from thick cowhide that is covered with the same tanned deer skin as on the handle. The front of the sheath has a deer antler crown concho and is adorned with a tin cone, deer hoof and antique trade beads, some over 100 years old! The back of the sheath has a wide belt loop that is 3" wide. The fringe is hand cut, and the whole sheath is hand sewn with heavy sinue thread. There is a copper stud at the top of the sheath that is not seen, but is there to keep the blade from slicing through the thread.
