RELIC KNIFE BLADE FROM SITTING BULL’S CAMP.

RELIC KNIFE BLADE FROM SITTING BULL’S CAMP. Heavily rusted trade knife lacking the wood grips it would have had originally but is the full length including shank and blade. Measures approx 7-3/4″ long and has two holes in the shank indicating rivet placement for the grips. The knife appears to have been used and sharpened many times prior to its loss.
