Knife and Sheath by White Wolf

Sheath has a veg. tan cowhide inner sheath covered with tanned deerskin, light decoration (aged brass beads, aged tin cones, a stone bead and horsehair), a small medicine bundle with very old tobacco inside and a belt loop for belts to approx. 2-1/2 inches. 

The knife has an antler crown (shed) handle with deerskin bolster overwrap and a drop point blade forged from an old K & J file which is 7-5/8 in. long X 1-1/4 in. wide.  An aged, copper heart is pinned to the handle.  .

Blade is differentially heat treated for a soft back, springy mid-line and tempered edge, good blade tapers and a backwoods style blade finish. 

This set is tastefully aged and the blade carries my touchmark.......a heart with a W inside.
