KNIVES

Yellow Indian Knife:
Probably the first knife used with early Thunderbirds and Tontos. It has a slight taper on the handle and a small “knob”.

Yellow Indian Knife:
I believe this one is more common with later Tontos and Thunderbirds with a slightly different handle.

Crocket Knife:
There are so few mint in the box Crockets to know for sure, but this one seems to be the one used with Crocket sets. Same mold as above.

Bowie Knife:
With the trademark Bowie scallop, I am fairly certain it was used with some Bowies. I don’t know the percentage.

Cheyenne / Bowie Knife:
This one is used with Cheyenne and I believe it was often used with Bowie sets. A collector has two of these still factory sealed with Bowie parts.

Jeffords Knife:
The same mold as the Brave Eagle knife except in brown. It might have been used with other sets, too.

White Brave Eagle Knife (rare):
I am fairly certain this is an original and legitimate piece, though most are molded in yellow. Besides mine, I know of two other collectors with this piece.

Yellow Brave Eagle Knife:
The normal knife used with Brave Eagle. Same mold as the Jeffords knife.

Stevens Thunderbird Knife:
This is the same mold as the yellow Chief Thunderbird knife in the early 90’s yet painted silver and black.
