In the Old West a piece of cloth or leather was wrapped around a muzzle loader's lead shot to prevent the escape of gases when the gun was fired. Each "patch" was cut with a knife much like this one created by Wrangler®. Like the original knives made during the early years of this country, the blades are thin (about 1/16") making the knife lightweight. The handmade beaded leather sheath includes a lanyard for around the neck carry or it can be tied to your belt and carried in the pocket. Each sheath has unique patterns and bead colors.
The utility blade is 1095 at 57-59 Rc. with an antique finish, and a dark curly maple handle. Overall lengths vary from 6-7/8" to 7-3/4". Weighs about 2.5 oz. Made in the U.S.A.
