Let's See Your Yellowhorse Knives

[pjsjr]

I've admired the work of Navajo artist David Yellowhorse for years, especially on Buck knives. Some months ago decided that I wanted one to add to my 192 collection. I found one on that big auction site, and was successul in my bid. It's the top knife in the pictures, it's called Eagle Mountain. While it's a 192 and a D. Yellohorse, it's not an good example of his inlay work.

The Cuthair series is done, based on the 192, but called 108...and that's good enough for me. I bought one of the series, The Ceremonial, from a long time BCCI member and Yellowhorse collector.

Now, I know there are others in the series, but most are hard to find and purchase. He has done some 192s with the inlay designs. I would like to see if any forum members have one they'd like to share or any of the Yellowhorse Buck knives that you might have. Preston

Here are a few. I have a few others but don't have pictures of them right now. A few years ago I had probably 100 or so but have sold all but a handfull of Davids.

Here is one of David's 112's.

This one was done by one of his sons,Brian.Until I saw this,I thought Davids sons would never equal his skill but this changed my mind.It's a nickel silver 112 headless design.The inlay work,especially the silver eagle,is outstanding.

beautiful knives all.

to pretty for me, but i do appreciate his work.

do y'all just collect his buck knives or use them as well? my impression was most would collect rather than use. not that ya couldnt use them of course. am i wrong assuming what i am? thanks.

This is indeed a beauty and shows the family talent is present.

View attachment 758615 The Damascus blade in this Yellowhorse is supposed to be Stainless. The Damascus in the 186 Titan is not.

Thanks to all for posting these wonderful knives...much talent and craftsmanship in the Yellowhorse family/clan, Preston

 

[JSutter]

Wow. Great pictures here, and awesome inlay work. I gotta love those 112's.

It can be sweet for a parent when the kids do well. Some great craftsman ship in the family.

Here are a couple David Yellowhorse 102's as well as a 110 and 119 hat pins done by David.

 

[pjsjr]

Haven't seen the hat pins...cool! Like that bottom 102. Thanks for posting. Preston

 

[Makael]

Lol man, the hat pins look great

Thanks, John, those are wonderful examples. Are they yours?

I do like Damascus but my favorite is the Chipped Flint blades. Preston

 

[jb4570]

Yes those are currently the only Yellowhorse knives in my pile. I also am a big fan of the Yellowhorse chippy blades. However, all of their knives are true works of art. I need to find a Yellowhorse fixed blade one day.
