Description: This hunting knife is the sort of work that has made Daniel Winkler and Karen Shook household names in re-enactment circles throughout the world. 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. Sadly, Daniel and Karen are currently not making their hand forged knives. This one was made back in 2001-2003. It has been meticulously cared for and is in new condition. By all appearances, Daniel and Karen could have made it yesterday.
This Medicine Wheel Hunting Knife has a dramatic sense of presence. The flats are forge textured. A distal taper provides for excellent balance.
Oak wood scales are set on a distal taped full tang and has been tribal marked. It is wrapped with rawhide and multi-colored sinew, providing a steadfast grip.
The knife is accompanied by a sheath by Karen Shook. The Native American style sheath is made from rawhide leather. A sewn seam travels around the edge. A porcupine quill medicine wheel is displayed on the front of the sheath. Thongs are decorated with antique trade beads, tin cones and horse hair.
Exceptional work throughout!
