The Native American Style Patch Knife has a 4.5-inch stainless blade with a full tang at 8.5 inches overall, brown wood handles and a brown leather belt sheath finished with fringe and bead trim.
The sheath is the reason to pick this one. Fringe and beadwork are frontier and Native American decorative traditions, and finding them at this price is unusual where plain stitched leather is the norm. The patch knife itself is an old American pattern, named for the greased cloth patches muzzleloader shooters cut at the muzzle when loading a ball.
At 4.5 inches this is a larger patch knife than the original pattern, which was made small and cheap on purpose. Full tang construction runs the steel the whole length of the handle, so there is no joint to loosen, and stainless keeps upkeep low. Explore more Survival and Bushcraft.
