Primitive Knives

Primitive knives are made to look old and rugged, something like our ancestors would have used in the frontier days. Hammer marks as well as the fire oxidation are left on the blade from the forging process to give them their unique look.

 

A very nice Riflemans primitive knife. SOLD

5160 steel with brass guard. Stacked leather and deer leg bone complete the handle. Includes hand-made leather sheath.

5160 blades. Has one trapper style and one wharncliffe. Although strictly not primitive in design, these pocket knives have been

purposely aged to look vey old. This one is almost a carbon copy of an old late 19th century Boker that I own. The bolsters

are pewter and the handle is a burnt and jigged rib bone that I had for dinner one night.

A fatter version of the one above. Has long nail nicks

on the trapper blade and wharncliffe. Blades are aged, pitted and stained to look old. Bolsters are pewter. The handle is hand-jigged

rib-bone that has been dyed by black walnuts. Very sharp!
