Jas. Hook Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I've seen a few of the later 18th - early19th century knives that are rather reasonable, plain janes like the Russell's Green River knives or the Missouri belt knife or a scalper carried by Nantahala Trading Post. Though later than GAoP period they are plain handled and basic design carbon steel blades they retain a bit of timelessness in their utility. What say all to their use in making up a period sailor's kit? Jas. Hook "Born on an island, live on an island... the sea has always been in my blood." Jas.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I carried a Russel Green River Camp Blade for the first few years in the hobby. I wish I would have kept it because as you say, it resembles many other common blade types spanning more than one period. I gave it away to someone I thought would appreciate it. My main blade that goes everywhere with me, in fact is on me now, is my litlle Green River "Ripper" blade modified into a swaged coffin handle. I use it everyday multiple times for multiple uses. I like them too but I know they're not period. I will still continue to carry my little Ripper though. Bo
Privateer Armoury Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Check in "Swords and Blades of the American Revolution" by George C. Neumann There is a section on knives (not sailor knives, alas) but you can get an idea of what was around. Hope that helps. P.S. if you want a little fancier piece check this one out: The image is a link to the gallery with the specs.
