Product Collection: River Traders

River Traders manufacturers knives that are excellent reproductions of the types of knives that were prevalent during the American Colonial period.  The blades are 1095 carbon steel (0.95%) and are thinner than most belt knives, making them better than average at slicing tasks.  The heat treating on the blades results in a pattern that is similar to that of Damascus Steel.  The knife has a full tang and the handle sandwiches onto either side with small brass rivets.  The handles are polished and stained maple, and each knife comes with a hand-crafted leather sheath.  The knife slides firmly into the sheath, and wide belt loop is firmly riveted to the sheath, making for a well-finished final product.
