Quanah Damascus Steel Hunting Knife

Quanah Parker (1845-1911) was one of the most famous Comanche warrior chiefs during their free-ranging. He was the son of a Comanche chief and a white captive (Cynthia Ann Parker). Quanah's tribe dominated a vast empire across the Southern Plains stretching across Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Kansas. He ascended to the rank of war chief through brave acts in almost constant warfare with Anglos and other Indian nations like the Apache. He became the last and most influential Comanche chief.

But Parker was more than a warrior, he co-founded the Native American Church, which uses peyote as a sacrament. He also transitioned from a fierce warrior into an influential political leader, negotiating peace with the US that spared his Comanche people many of the indignities suffered by other tribes. Once peace was negotiated and he and his people moved to a reservation, Quanah again pivoted, this time to being a successful businessman who leased land and became a wealthy rancher in order to generate income and take care of his people.

The Raindrop Damascus pattern and combination of materials found on the handle give this Quanah Damascus Steel Hunting Knife a majestic look and solid feel.
