Antique J. Russell & Co. Green River Works Butcher Knife — Wood Handle

$65.00

An antique American butcher's knife by J. Russell & Co., Green River Works — a historically significant maker founded in Greenfield, Massachusetts in 1834. Green River knives outfitted the American fur trade and westward settlers, and the phrase "up to Green River" entered the American lexicon meaning something well-made.

The blade is stamped with the Green River Works mark and retains a classic butcher's knife profile. The wood handle is secured with five pins — more than the typical 2–3 pin construction seen on period Green River knives, suggesting a possible period repair or handle reinforcement rather than original factory work. The handle is solid and secure regardless.
