Norwegian Sami Style Knife 1970s | Reindeer Bone Handle Carved Decor | Leather Sheath Reindeer Motif | Folk Art Collectible

An exceptional handcrafted Norwegian knife from the 1970s, inspired by traditional Sami craftsmanship from northern Scandinavia. Created by a skilled Norwegian hobbyist knife maker, this piece exemplifies the cultural heritage and artistic traditions of the Arctic regions.

The hand-forged steel blade appears unused and retains excellent condition. What makes this knife truly special is the reindeer bone handle, hand-carved with traditional decorative patterns that reflect Sami design sensibilities. The natural bone texture provides both beauty and functionality, displaying honest aging that enhances its authentic character.

The accompanying hand-tooled leather sheath is a work of art, featuring a beautifully rendered reindeer with majestic antlers as the central motif. The design is framed by geometric border patterns reminiscent of traditional Sami decorative elements. The warm golden leather showcases skilled tooling work that brings the reindeer to life in relief.
