Crow Knife Sheath, 1880

Crow knife cases are typically larger in format than those found from tribes further south. This particular format is often thought of as a woman’s sheath, based on photographic evidence. These sheaths encased the entire knife.

This example shows a great example of native repair on the backside in which a new insert was introduced to perhaps replace rotten leather.

11” long and 3.75” wide
