Yellowhorse knife ?

Post by just bob »

This is a current ebay listing that raises some concerns. This doesn't look like the DY signature or logo. I have 2 DY knives and neither is signed like this. The work is sloppy and the stones are ill fit. It is a used knife that has been sharpened. Has anyone ever seen a DY knife that was used? Not out of the question that the original owner sharpened it, but with the cost involved seems unlikely. Getting a lot of bids for a clunker? I know others know more than me - any comments?

I'm with you Bob, it doesn't look like any Yellow Horse I have seen.
And that signature? ::shrug::

Same here guys. Also, the stamp looks funny to me. First, it is not a 1980 knife. The stamp is either a USA or a 1970's knife. I can't see enough of the tang to tell if there are any dots. It looks to have been re-stamped too. Look at the amount of wear on the tang and then look at the stamp. Finally, there is no way I can believe this knife was done by David Yellowhorse. Nothing about the work with the stones and inlays looks like the quality you'd expect from David and I've never seen this signature either.

The only way that knife could be a David Yellowhorse knife is if he made it at about 4 years of age. :x :x ::td:: ::td::
