Around the times of the great depression, between 1929 and 1939, country people were so poor, weather on a farm or on the reservation, out of necessity they made Many of the items that they needed. We believe this knife is one of those items. The blade metal has some patterned horizontal markings as if it had been used to be something else, which would be indicative of the era.
Condition - This knife is in very good condition.
