"The Mountain Mans Choice, during the Rocky Mountain fur trade from 1830-38, an annual Rendezvous was held for the beaver fur trappers. tons of gear was brought out from St.Louis to re supply the mountain men. Among these trade goods was the "RUSSELL GREEN RIVER WORKS KNIFE. The trappers needed a good knife for their daily trapping duties. The "Green River "was their choice.There were many styles but one of the favorites was the 6 inch butcher knife. Russel knives are "STILL" made today after over 190 years. I found these fine knives available at a decent price. The rate for this butcher knife is .00 without a sheath. I can now offer these historical knives "WITH" a custom made sheath. The knife is made from high carbon steel and is razor sharp. The sheath is heavy one piece steer hide molded to fit this knife. It has a series of solid brass rivets for strength. You can wear it tucked in your belt or on your belt. my price for knife and sheath is only .00 + .00 shipping.
