Hand Crafted "Counting Coup" Knife - Maker Said He Was Cherokee Indian: $95.00
Hand Crafted "Counting Coup" Knife - Maker Said He Was Cherokee Indian AI: "This handcrafted Counting Coup hunting knife with a stainless steel blade and leather handle is said to be made by a Cherokee Indian. The clip point blade, measuring 8 inches in length, features a silver color and a plain edge. The knife includes a leather and fur sheath and is an original piece handmade in 2001. Perfect for collectors." Wikipedia: "Among the Plains IndiansofNorth America,counting coup is the warriortradition of winning prestige against an enemy in battle. It is one of the traditional ways of showing bravery in the face of an enemy and involves intimidating him, and, it is hoped, persuading him to admit defeat, without having to kill him.Historically, any blow struck against the enemy counted as a coup, but the most prestigious acts included touching an enemy warrior with a hand, bow, or coup stick and escaping unharmed, and without harming the enemy, except for the enemy's wounded pride." Blade is about 8 inches and knife overall about 20. Do not know what the fur is, I believe he said it was a type of rabbit but I do not recall. Cannot guarantee the maker was Cherokee Indian but having met and talked to him I do not doubt. Will be packed well.
