Authentic Green River Knives from Dexter Russell. A favorite among the Mountain Men, Green River knives were originally made in Greenfield, Massachusetts by J. Russell. The factory was started in 1832-34 to make butcher and kitchen knives. Close to 60,000 Russell Green River knives per year were shipped to the West for several years. These knives are the same pattern, from the same manufacturer used during the westward migration and settlement of the west. a standard of Mountain men, Native Americans, Cowboys, Soldiers and settlers. These high carbon steel "Green River" knives and blades are identical to the ones used by our forefathers. The mountain men, who opened the West, used the name Green River as a standard of quality for anything traded. Anything done "Up to Green River" signified first rate merchandise. These high carbon steel blades with beechwood handles have a remarkable ability to hold their edge and are stain resistant.
Unlike other resellers of Green River Knives, MOD Outfitters is hand etching (no lasers here off grid) our Red Queen Ranch stock brand in deep relief on the blade. Our way of saying thanks for "Riding for the brand" and helping our little ranch and homestead be successful.
