Not so much Green River Knives as we commonly think of the Skinner pattern, but John Russell Cutlery anyway......

Nice ol Box....

Outstanding Stag used on this awesome John Russell Carving set..

I had some photos of a handful of John Russell Table Knives, around the Civil War ear- may be pre or post as I am not too sure, but can't seem to dig them up.

This is a bare 2212 " sheath knife " blade that I bought from Jantz 2 years ago , slightly modified and handled in red oak.

I really like your knife. Just ordered a couple Green River blade blanks. You say that your knife is 2 years old - did you do anything special to get that great patina?

Thanks.
For the patina I didnt do anything special, just peeled & sliced my daily apple and used it at the dinner table.
The patina isn't quite as dark as it looks in that picture, but it is nice and even.

I've had some luck with Green Rivers over the years.

The faint-stamped Magua has a double taper.

I've seen only one of those Bicentennial sets in person, and yours is the second picture of one I've seen.

I have had this set a long time and this gave me a reason to revisit with it. Have always been interested in the history of Green River Knives.

Boy that 6" Dadley looks like a perfect camp knife. Kind of Kephart-y.

The newest edition. Rounded the end of the blade and enlarged the lower pin hole for a 1/4" tube.

Hafted in maple that I found in the woods. Thought was going to have way more chatoyance and interesting features after being oiled and finished up. It's just blah. Plus you can see that darn wormhole I had to fill... It appeared out of nowhere while sanding.

I might cut it off and start over.

These patch knife blades are great if anyone is looking for a smaller utility knife.
