River Traders Lewis And Clark Knife

Click here for more details on River Traders knives, and links to some reviews!

The Lewis & Clark trade knife is designed after a knife used during the historic expedition.  The blade profile is definitely unique, with a long gentle curve and a sharp drop point at the tip.  There is also a bevel along one side of the back of the blade, extending around 2″ from the tip.  The handle has a hole in it, in keeping with the styling after the original example.

Below are the detailed measurements of this knife. One important note: for best comfort and grip, the length of your middle finger should be similar to the circumference of the handle.
