Frontiersman's Long Knife or American Rifleman's Knife

Frontiersman's Long Knife - This type of long knife was sometimes called a rifleman's knife since it was carried by the civilians that fought for independence. Though they were large as a fighting knife, they were also used on a daily basis to perform the countless camp chores that living in the field brought. This knife might be early cousin of the bowie and Arkansas toothpick. Perfect for the collector of American knives. High carbon well-tempered blade. To many knife historians it is a knife that I believe is roughly based off the Searles/Fowler Bowie and the Stafford/Searles Bowie knives. There are some similarities with these knives and the one we reproduced. We are not saying that the Frontiersman's knife above is what these two Bowie knives were made from, but from the similarities it is easy to see how knives evolved and how many looked somewhat alike. Searles/Fowler Bowie Stafford/Searles Bowie Which is it? Who can say? We are not trying to debate history just to present some facts and let you decide. Either wat this is a great knife for any collector for any knife collection. It is also a great knife for field use. Hunting, camping, fishing, etc. It is made from tempered 5160 carbon steel. Has a full tang that is peened over top of the end cap of the handle. A period scabbard is also included.

Customer Comments:

Hi Clyde,

The frontiersman knife came this evening. It took me about twenty minutes to work my way through all the packing, but the effort was well worth it.

The knife is outstanding! I was blown away by the overall fit and finish, and by how big and quick the knife is.

I'll touch up the blade to get it shaving sharp, but I can already tell that keeping a keen edge won't be a problem.

In short, the knife is beyond my expectations. Thanks, Clyde, for a superior product. I'll definitely buy from you again.

Jonathan from Virginia
