- Lot Description
North America, Southwestern United States, ca. mid-19th century CE. This is a very handsome steel and deer antler knife with a massive broad blade. The blade has a single cutting edge that is still very sharp and a narrow spine that tapers and slightly curves upward to a pointed tip. The projecting tang is covered with a deer antler grip that is secured in place with brass rivets - this bone is naturally bowed with a rounded pommel formed from the burr, or the bony rim where the antler would meet the animal's skull. The natural ridges on the antler have been polished smooth from gripping and use, and dark patina has formed across the blade over the ages. Size: 14.65" L x 1.75" W (37.2 cm x 4.4 cm); (blade): 9.45" L x 1.75" W (24 cm x 4.4 cm)
Provenance: private Glorieta, New Mexico, USA collection
