Choosing a Native American-style knife
Every knife in this collection takes its look from trade-era and Plains traditions: horn and resin handles, steel bolsters, beaded lanyards and fringed or tooled leather sheaths. What sets them apart is how you plan to use them.
Folding knives for everyday carry
The five folders here have blades from 2.5 to 3.5 inches. The BF-04 Buffalo is the most compact; the BF-05 Bison adds half an inch for a fuller grip. For a bright handle, look at the yellow resin BF-01 Bumble Bee or the red BF-03 Olympus with its ring pommel. The BF-02 Moccasin ships in a fringed sheath.
A fixed blade for hunting and camp work
The BF-06 Aero is a 10-inch hunting knife with a 4-inch hammered blade and a curved belly for skinning. A fixed blade has no pivot to loosen, which makes it the stronger choice for field dressing.
Style, not origin
These are Native American-style knives. They are not made by Native American artists, and Buffalo Nation Knives is not affiliated with any tribe. If you are looking for authentic Native-made work, our Native American knives guide explains what to look for and where to find it.
