About the Item

Eastern woodland crooked knife. Solid handle having an exquisite hand chipped carved American Folk Art style geometric design. The blade is hand forged iron most likely made from remnants of another knife. The blade is held in place with a stud and then wrapped with thick harness saddle leather. Measures: 9 1/4" x 1 3/4", 2 1/2" blade. 19th century. Eastern United States. The crooked knife is a one-handed knife invented by the woodland Native Americans. Woodlands tribes include those in the Northeast, such as the Micmac, Penobscot, Maliseet and Passamaquoddy, as well as those in the Eastern, Central and Western Great Lakes regions, such as the Iroquois, Huron, Cree and Chippewa tribes. These tribes were canoe, sled and snowshoe builders, and the crooked knife reflects the unique needs of their craft. The tip of the blade is up-swept, so as to avoid digging into the wood while carving. The knife is held with the palm of the hand facing upward and drawn toward the carver’s chest. While this may sound dangerous, it is quite safe, as only small shavings of wood are removed at a time.
