Dear A. J. Taylor,
 
Knives were great trade items.  See Nassaney, M.S., and M. Abel (1993) The
Social and Political contexts of Cutlery Production in the Connecticut Valley.
Dialectical Anthropology 18:247-289, and citations therein.  The Russell
Manufacturing Co. produced the Green River knives that were very popular on the
frontier, among so-called mountain men and as trade objects in the Missouri
Country and elsewhere in the West.
 
Let me know on or off list if you need further information.
