Shoehorn Crooked Knife

Finely made 19th century crooked knife with a shoehorn handle. Wire wrap secures the blade. Very sculptural . We aren’t certain that the handle was used as a shoehorn, although it easily could have been. The design was ergonomic as it provided a secure place for the thumb of the user when carving. (CI-23)
