KE5704 Buffalo Skinner Blade

These blades are made by a combination of forging and grinding on automatic machinery for the most economical production. Each blade will take as fine an edge as any on the market today. Almost any American hardwood can be used to make a handle for an authentic early American Knife, but the native wood most commonly used by U.S. manufacturers was birch. The handle was the same shape as the tang and edges were chamfered at about 45 degrees for comfort. No guards were used. 5" blade. This is the skinning knife used by the professional hide hunters of the Western plains. About 9" long overall, 1/8" thick, and it weighs 4 oz.
