Blades of our Fathers - New Zealand’s ‘Green River’ Knife

Here we look at the Green River style knife and discuss its origins, practicalities, and why the knife was so common for the Baby Boomer generation to use hunting in New Zealand.

These are two well established New Zealand companies who still make this style of knife, noting with a plastic handle and stainless steel. (Www.victoryknives.co.nz / knifekut.co.nz)
