Actually, that's not a "crooked knife". It's a late 19th-early 20th C
farrier's hoof knife. I've four of them, all made by George Wostenholm, IXL,
Sheffield, but most major English makers made them. I see them mislabeled
on ebay all the time. Those and old straight razor blades stuck into a
handle being passed as crooked knives. Genuine native American
crooked knives are not commonly seen on ebay, but I have seen a
couple over the years.
