Description:
  Crooked knives just don\'t get much better than this example. It is carved from yellow birch with chip-carved star and heart decoration and a volute pommel with raised panels carved with the name Thomas Bishop and the date 1891. The surface shows wonderful patina. Even the hand forged blade is elegant, with a slight bevel to the back and a graceful taper. And, it is seriously sharp. The copper wrapping is original.  Based on where it was found, Northern Maine, it is probably Penobscot Indian. There is a natural check in the wood, just above the wrapping, which does not go all the way through the wood, and the lower end of the wrapping is slightly messed up. Overall length is 8 5/8\".  The blade is 3 3/16\". It will be shipped double boxed.
