Cutlery of Santa Fe
Among the unique knife artisans represented at Cutlery of Santa Fe, only one creates authentic Native jewelry: Stewart Yellowhorse, from a family of Navajo silversmiths including the late Chief Yellowhorse. Inlaid with semi-precious stones such as turquoise, coral, spiny oyster, and picasso marble, the small Buck knife and trapper-style Case knife carried by the shop are popular with visitors for their natural beauty and relative rarity of Native-crafted knife handles.
