Hand Carved Bone Handle Knife with Animal Head Pommel
$225.00
A handmade fixed blade knife by an unknown maker, with no country of origin known. Likely made around the 1920s, this is a truly one of a kind piece of folk craftsmanship.
The handle is hand carved from bone and ends in a carved animal head with inset eyes, a charming detail that sets it apart from factory made knives. See Condition Notes below for detail.
