Description: Mastersmith Daniel Winkler and Karen Shook work together to create knives that have a timeless beauty that will quickly become family heirlooms. Their name is well known in re-enactment circles throughout the world and movie buffs may recognize their work in films such as Last of the Mohicans. Their knives have an authenticity rarely found in other maker's work.
Finding Daniel and Karen's knives has become increasingly difficult. This Medicine Wheel Neck Knife was made in 2002 and has been meticulously cared for.
The blade was forged to shape from 1095 carbon steel. The flats are forged finished. The handle is formed from deer bone. The front is wrapped with stitched rawhide and completed with a sinew wrap at the bolster.
The knife is accompanied by a rawhide neck sheath by Karen Shook. The sheath is completed with trade beads and a porcupine quill medicine wheel, a hallmark of Daniel and Karen's work.
Excellent fit and finish throughout. A very rare find!
