1986 Navajo Dave Yellowhorse Case XX Inlaid Knife
For your consideration is this early Dave Yellowhorse Case USA XX Morenci turquoise, Mother of Pearl, and coral inlaid knife from 1986. This is a wonderful piece of Case cutlery history showing wonderful decoration and attention to detail with a wonderful wooden inlaid scene showing Native American men dancing around a fire with tee pees in the background. The decoration to the hilt doesn't stop there with a great addition of Morenci turquoise around a engraved pipe tomahawk bordered by Mother of Pearl and coral strips. The condition of the knife is good with some play in the knife joint and a slight patina to the hilt. The sheath is of great construction with black leather and a addition of snake skin adorning the front of the sheath. The overall measurements of this knife are 8 1/2" tip to butt of knife with a 4" blade and 6" x 2" when sheathed.
