This beaded knife sheath has a very interesting notch in its design, probably so that the knife sheath would rest on the man’s belt. It was made during the early Reservation Period when the Indians were adapting to the Anglo culture they were now living amidst. This is the only knife sheath I have seen with the design feature.
