PLEASE NOTE: SALE OF ANY KNIVES IN MY SHOP WILL ONLY BE FINAL AFTER WE HAVE HAD COMMUNICATION ABOUT KNIFE. I do not mean to sound rude, but have had sales where buyers did not read description accurately. Before you purchase this knife.
knives are slightly sharpened only.
All my crooked knives make sharpening easy, the new owner can custom sharpen his own personal MICRO RAZOR edge on ONE SIDE of the BLADE and radius to create your desired razor sharpness.
ALL KNIVES HAVE A SLIGHTLY SHARPENED EDGE BUT MAY NEED SHARPENING TO YOUR OWN PERSONAL SHARPNESS.
Thank you

History:
First introduced in Sheffield, England, crooked knives were sold by traders such as the Northwest Company as early as 1720. In North-eastern America, this style of tool was much used by the first nations of that region to fashion everything from canoe paddles to snowshoes also used in carving items ranging from baskets to bowls and spoons to canoes and totem poles, weapons etc, these knives are one of the handiest tools ever invented. Many were originally made from old files, with the tang inserted into a carved wooden handle and secured with tightly wrapped with raw hide, wire or sinew, rivets or pins.

Originally Knives made were custom foreign produced for Both the Native American and Buckskinner trade in the Old Days, than in the late 1700s the Custom American made Mocotaugan Crooked Knife was a common everyday Tool, these knives are one of the handiest tools ever invented.

DISCLAIMER Please Note:
All of my items are handmade & many of them are truly one of a kind which means that no two are exactly alike.

Because each one of my items are handcrafted one at a time, no two are 100% identical. I consider my items as art forms made in the centuries old ways which means there may be natural variations that one might consider a flaw but are actually inherent in the making of the piece, just as they were centuries ago. My items are created exactly as they were centuries ago. We might look at a piece from centuries ago may it be a drum, war club, knife, pipe, necklace, etc & think it's not perfect but actually it is, it's the hand crafted nature & techniques that the Native Americans used & which I use today with pride, skill & confidence.
