Vintage Jefferson Spivey Sabertooth Knife

Jefferson Spivey Sabertooth Knife #498

"The knife is called Sabertooth. I invented it during a horseback journey from ocean to ocean in 1968. That ride took seven months and covered 4000 miles through all the seasons. Necessity made me realize the kind of knife I need.160 thickness, 12 ¾ inches long, a 7 ½ inch flat-ground blade, the Sabertooth is perfectly suited for wilderness survival. The on a sloping 5 ¼ inch double row of biangular teeth on the spine is the most effective saw on a knife ever designed.”

The first Sabertooth appeared on the cover of Gun World Magazine in 1969. In 1976, the National Cowboy Hall of Fame commissioned a limited edition series of the patented Sabertooth knife. The Sabertooth has been featured in museums such as Randall Knife Museum and The National Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Jefferson Spivey passed away in 2022. He pioneered and worked hard to introduce a cross country horseback/ hiking trail, the Freedom Trails.
