They often designated trees as the location of their meetings. These became known as “Liberty Trees. If the red coats found the tree, but no colonial “traitors,” they often vented their wrath by felling the tree in hopes that they could dampen the spirit of freedom by toppling the magnificent witnesses to so many patriotic plans. ** A few of the Liberty Trees survived the axe and the slow passage of years. The wood in the handle of this knife is from a tree that survived all but a hurricane's fury in Annapolis, Maryland. ** The blade is reminiscent of designs commonly found in the hands of our colonial forefathers. The handle is embellished with two gold stars in memory of patriotic ideals that live today in those who love this land. The bolsters are lustrous brass. ** THIS FIRST KNIFE IN THIS SERIES WAS MADE BY LARRY HARLEY. THE EDITION WILL BE LIMITED TO 1776 INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED PIECES.

Crazy Horse was born around 1845 on the Republican River that traces the Nebraska-Kansas border. He was raised with tribal traditions of generosity, courage and self-denial. He ordered the attack on Lt. Col. George A. Custer's Seventh Cavalry and never surrendered the lands claimed by his people. When asked where were his lands, he replied, "My lands are where my dead lie buried." The Crazy Horse knife sports a handle made of wood from a grove of aspen trees, which grew on the sacred Pine Ridge Reservation land in southern Nebraska. The Aspen is revered by the Sioux Nation as the "Tree of Life." The 4 1/2" x 1 1/2" blade is made from knapped obsidian, a hard volcanic glass. Its color is variegated rust black and is affixed to the hilt with leather strips. Horsehair tassels dangle from brass cones, threaded with bone beads lashed to the leather binding. Four brass tacks represent the four seasons. The fringed buckskin sheath is brain-tanned, hand-made and beaded with a familiar Sioux pattern. A certificate of authenticity is included. 1,847 knives — commemorating the year Crazy Horse was born — will be produced.
