Native American Bone Knife

[davisdanaamerica]

that's not bone that looks like plastic

[mryellow123]

Polymer?

[acliffordknives]

Edgedweapon88, Sorry for the comments, but they were not directed towards you personally. You are a collector and that's great. You obviously have an interest in Native American/Indigenous Canadian items. There are many items you will not be able to collect unless the money to do so is unlimited. In which case reproductions are the next best thing. Feel free to remove all my comments if need be. Interesting vids none the less.

[blitzspeer]

Is it sharp?

[12304death]

lol it would be funny if u kill that animals family with that knife

[joec123able]

u use those bone knives for skinning your game or butchering it

[408bayareakid]

I never new those native savages use plastic knives hahaha how do u sharpen that

[DVDluvr123]

@408bayareakid Please post your proof that it is made of plastic.

[AClarke2007]

Reminds me of my old faith-full in-flight plastic knife, had many-a-scrambled-egg with it.

[ammarhio]

damn you got ripped off dude. Thats not real hahaaaaa

[DVDluvr123]

@ammarhio Please post your proof that it isn't real.

[ammarhio]

@DVDluvr123 I dont have proof. I was pretty baked when i wrote this comment about 6 months ago. Apologies

[CutleryNovice]

Very cool,do you know where I can find one?

[edgedweapon88]

@CutleryNovice Not sure. I got it in Montreal.

[Verradonairun]

@edgedweapon88 Do the knives work? Can you skin animals with it? And can it hold a sharp edge?

[DVDluvr123]

@CutleryNovice In a buffalo femur.

[TheLonelyBearCub]

its really nice, but its a reproduction. its still cool though

[kaylach12]

That isn't a Native American knife. Sorry to disappoint you.  I am a Native American so I should know. You don't know what your talking about. And it isn't made out of bone. So easy to tell.

[ThetaGen]

@kaylach12 looks like plastic to me. Our family wouldn't have put something like this out ever. I'm native too.

[kaylach12]

@ThetaGen Yeah, I don't know why so many people sdo this sort of thing. They should find a way to confirm it if they want us to believe it. If they don't then they must not find it important or they know it isn't a real native knife.

[DVDluvr123]

@ThetaGen Please post your proof that it is plastic.

[DVDluvr123]

@kaylach12 There are a lot of different Native American groups and they each have their own skills and traditions. The fact that you are Native American doesn't make you an expert on all of them.

[EmOsItSiMo]

Thats cool

[MrBudwv]

regardless of where it was made, if it's real bone it can be honed to a keen edge. I've made a few & you'd be suprised how well they can work.

[runescape44411]

were you on a reservation?

[XCritonX]

@gvenema They prefer underwear bombs.

[jolderon2]

@gvenema LOL DONT GIVE THEM IDEAS!!

[RDPproject]

The new X-ray machines use now show the density of items and stuff in bags. So this would show up and its shape would be quite clearly visible. Also....its animal product so it will show up in a different colour from clothing and other Non-biological items.

[recurveninja]

did you notice the clamped metal pipe keeping the beads on?

[acliffordknives]

Sorry, this isn't Native!! Nice looking but not real Native made..............

[thoostorm4]

@acliffordknives like your an authority ha

[acliffordknives]

@thoostorm4 NO, because YOU ARE....we just forgot to tell you!!! Pony beads are a dead give away, stormshitter!!!

[ThetaGen]

This _isn't_ native american. It does look like a chinese relic of some sort. My family would never put something like this out and call it ours.

[DVDluvr123]

@ThetaGen Perhaps it was made by someone outside your family.

[DVDluvr123]

@acliffordknives Please post your proof that it is not native-made.

[acliffordknives]

@DVDluvr123 A treu Native artist would NOT USE PONY BEADS, rooster feathers or any materials purchased from a hobby store. So, Mr. DVDluvr123, please post your proof that it is real. Let's hear your expertise on the subject!

[DVDluvr123]

@acliffordknives Actually, I don't have any obligation to prove that it is real because I never claimed that it was real. If you think I did, then I challenge you to read my previous comment. again. It is reasonable to expect that the person who is making a claim should be able to provide proof of that claim. Okay, please post your proof that the items used on the knife were purchased from a hobby store.

[acliffordknives]

@DVDluvr123 If an AURPORT GIFT SHOP can orders these in large quantities from a catalog to sell in an AIRPORT I would fare to say that it isn't authentic based of that. Also, there are several hints that it's not authentic. If he purchased this and it did not come with PROFF that it was REAL then law state that it can't be sold. The person you NEED to ask whether it came with cert. of auth., which can only be produced by a REAL artist, is the buyer in the vid. I know better based on exp.

[DVDluvr123]

@acliffordknives The law you are referring to states that a piece of art claimed to be made by an ”Indian Artist“ needs to have been made by a member of a tribe that is officially recognized by the U.S. government. That is a law in the U.S. He bought this in Canada and there was no specific claim of ”Indian Artist“ anyway. Also, Native people can make more than one of an item if they want to just like anyone else. You haven't proven that this knife wasn't made by a person who is Native American.

[acliffordknives]

@DVDluvr123 True. But in order to bring items into the U.S. they have to be stamped with a maker, even original items signed by the artist, especially 'indigenous made items". IF this were an Ojibwe bone knife, one of the only tribes that made bone knives, you wouldn't have found it in an airport gift shop. A REPRODUCTION yes, again, if you can pickup a catalog and order large quanitities of these and buy them for a few dollars without a makers/tribe name I wouldn't trust it was real.

[acliffordknives]

@DVDluvr123 I sent this vid link to some friends in Canada. They could tell by looking at it that it wasn't real. At least not REAL in the sense that it's made with any specific marks, designs or clues that it was meant to be a REAL crafted item BY a Canadian Native. As in the U.S. items are worth more if included with a name, sig./tribe name even in Canada. I have several bone knives from Canada and if this knife was/is authentic it's strictly cheaply done for the tourist trade.

[acliffordknives]

@DVDluvr123 So, if your point is to argue to the rest of us who know the Native Craft trade/business that we CAN'T prove this knife isn't real then we'll give you that but you haven't prooved that it IS REAL. Don't shy away with your bullshit answer "I DON'T HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO PROVE IT IS REAL" because you raised such a fuckin stink that no one of can proove it isn't SO YOU prove to me that it IS and maybe i'll change my mind! Until STFU about it little lady.lol.

[edgedweapon88]

No.

[5tonyvvvv]

@edgedweapon88 iam guessing tradtional they used stone to shape the bone knife

[PrimitiveByNature]

@edgedweapon88 hey if it's from Canada it's called a First Nations knife! lol I'm just giving you a hard time eh.

[EmOsItSiMo]

Is sharp??

[FUwogs]

native american "made in china"... lol

[DVDluvr123]

@FUwogs Please post your proof that it was made in China.

[FUwogs]

@DVDluvr123 what would be the point? oh and go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself...

[acliffordknives]

@FUwogs Get em' FUwogs!!!! lol

[NoisemakerArrow]

Hahaha...those shops at resorts are total rip-offs. They sell that "native american" crap everywhere, even at Toronto's airport. Only suckers would buy junk like that.

It's made from cow bones.

[DVDluvr123]

@NoisemakerArrow The person who made this video didn't say what kind of bone it was. You are attempting to disprove something that wasn't stated.

[djassimilator]

cool

[wamspride]

thats a cool knife

[edgedweapon88]

Thanks!

[head920]

to tell you the truth in canada we dont call the native american there just cauld native

[discrepancy666]

nice,

your vids are very interesting, i subbed!

[edgedweapon88]

Thank you for the kind comment!

[mdog62796]

Cool! I have a bunch of deer bones that I find in my backyard. I might try to make one. It won't look anything like that though.

[edgedweapon88]

That would be cool to make your own knife out of bone! if you make one make a video of it!
