Knives
"Little Tahltan"
Price: 2 400 USD

This small, beautiful knife is one of my favored. It feel so good to know that it hangs on my belt when I am in remote and wild places of beautiful British Columbia, Canada.

It's name comes from a Natives Tahltan tribe that lives in northern part of British Columbia, Canada around Stikine River valley.

The flow of etched lines in the blade and the feel of walrus tusk ivory with solid gold pins will electrify you.

The knife is well balanced and can be used as a hunting or all around knife.
