Howdy.
I have a few old knives and wondering if any would be suitable for a French and Indian War, or earlier, used by someone living with the Abenaki or similar tribes.
I am still really new to this, so I welcome input.
I'm partial to 1, 5, 6, 7 and 13 & 14. Maybe a handle change on 5, 7. and 14.
Thank you.

There are a several people making really good French boucheron knives. I can put you in contact with one who is working from artifact originals in his possession.

Any of the knives pictured will need to have the scales replaced (and not with maple) in order to make the pins correct.
 
Brokennock is correct, the pins are wrong for the time period and most of the blade shapes.

Look up English trade knives or French trade knives or "boucheron" on this sites search function or the internet for examples.
