Old Stag Grip Bowie Knife Civil Indian War Cw Dagger

'a primitive. Stag-grip bowie knife for the backwoodsman'! You are bidding on an older reenactors -one of a kind 'rendezvous' stag grip bowie knife. This 'blacksmith bowie' has a great aged look & indian wars style. The blade is over 7 1/2 long it has a single edge, and unsharpened false edge. The edge has not been sharpened in 'many moons', but is still amazingly clean. The forged blade itself is gae darkened, with pitting. It has a hand-forged 'fuller' on the left side. Teh knife is unmarked. There is a steel 'oval' guard. The nicely textured stag grip has a good look. The grip & blade are solid & secure.

Very confident 'feel' in the hand! The crown stga pommel is smooth & dark. Overall length is a bit over 12.

Balance piont is just ahead of the guard. This is a fantastic reenactros knife that has nice 'age'and an authentic look! It would be a proper looking 'companion' for the fur-trade or indian wasr era reenactor. A 'primitive bowie' like this would be perfect for the next sass cowboy shoot! . Would probably also work well for the medievalistgreat for the collector of 'interesting' knives too! Why do i use the term 'reenactor knife'? Because that is who i got them from over the years!

We live in a history rich area of the upper mississippi riverfur trade activity dates back to the 1600s! Historic reenacting hsa been active for over fifty years, and 'interesting' knives have been a big part of it since the start. Many lod original knives were used at first. Others utilized rebuilt older blades, or blacksmith handmade copies. Few were marked, and all have a nice 'patina' by now!

I don't do 'carbon dating', and i'm not good at tall tales. So -for me-they are all 'reenactor knives'. I thought they were 'neat' when i swapped or bought 'em. And that was good enough. As usual, a low start & no reserve.
