What is a Green River Knife?
National Museum of American History: Green River Knife
-------------------------------
"John Russell founded his Green River Works on March 1, 1834 on the banks of the Green River near Greenfield Massachusetts. The Green River knives he turned out there quickly became a favorite of emigrants, buffalo hunters, Indians, miners and settlers. It is estimated that between 1840 and 1860, 60,000 Green River knives were shipped west."

Ordered three blades from Track of the Wolf...$13 to $15.
