This knife is stamped with the manufacturer’s name: “J. Russell Co. GREEN RIVER WORKS, Professional.” With a curved blade and cord wrapped handle, the blade is sheathed in a decorative buckskin scabbard. The scabbard has a cloth lining, beaded design, tassels, quills, and tinklers. The beaded floral designs on the front are constructed from overlay stitching on a white background. Eight tinklers are partially wrapped with porcupine quills that are dyed red. Four tassels with tinklers and two small quill loops are atop the scabbard.
