Bark River Knives: Hudson Bay Trade Knife

This model has been deeply discounted. All sales are final (no returns).

The Custom Hudson Bay Trade Knife is a reproduction of one of the knives made and sold here in North America during the Pioneer/Mountain Man Period. Belt Knives like this were essential and the pattern of this Blade is actually called a Roach Belly. The roots of this pattern show more of the French influence than English and was very popular because it's ability to skin game very quickly and efficiently. The Shallow Saber Grind gave a very sharp edge and still allowed for splitting wood quickly for camp fires.
