Primitive knife - looking for info
Hi All -
Going through old boxes in the basement and came across this. I found this knife along the Minnesota River in the mid 70s with a metal detector when I was about 12. I was searching some old settler sites - around stone building remnants. I was wondering if it was possible to find out any information on something like this, and thought this very cool site might be a good place to start.

Rare, no I dont think so but much more rare in good condition. You can imagine they rust away fairly badly. This is the typical condition and style
