Hershel House Hand Forged Neck Knife and Sheath
Here is a great early pioneer type neck knife made by Kentucky Artist
Hershel House. The knife including the handle measures 6". These
little knives were mainly used to cut rifle patches. The blade is forged
from a lift hay rake tine for a good useable blade. The handle is made
from a deer antler. |

The knife comes with a leather sheath that can be worn around
your neck. The knife has Hershel's mark. If you would like a beautiful
hand made quill sheath to go with this small knife, you can contact Lally
House at 859-707-5429.

"Can't remember when I wasn't interested
in early American history. As a boy I sat many hours with my
grandfather on his front porch. Hershel Finney was full of stories
about the older days, hunting, trapping, fishing in Green River.
Many stories he has heard first hand from Civil War veterans.
He liked to relate the many adventuers in Arkansas. Everyone
he met while hunting in the big woods there carried a long barrel
muzzle loading rifle or shotgun. I had already built and repaired
several muzzle loaders in the 1950s. One a rifle Mrs. Agnes
Gibbs gave me. I hunted successfully killing many squirrels,
ground hogs, possum's and an occasional coon!
After a tour in the Marine Corps I started
building longrifles full time in 1967 and am still at it. (2004)
I have constructed long rifles for several Kentucky Governors
and collectors. Get the most pleasure building good shooting
guns for many friends, hunters, target shooters, perople who
will use them."
