What style of knife is this?

Nevermind

Crude.

Looks kinda like a Yakut knife

Knives w/o a guard between the handle and blade edge are extremely bad to gut big game with. As always happens , the smooth handle gets bloody ,and the hand slips into the sharp edge of the blade. Fun to look at , but dangerous to use.

I'm wanting a new knife and I don't really know what this style of knife is called or where to really find them.

I like the handle and the blade shape mostly. The resin join looks good too.

A knife far over done to appear as a fantasy primitive, but would never have existed in that form, and would present many places for bacteria to form and grow while also causing drag in slicing maneuvers. So over done as to possibly be prone to breakage. In short, a ridiculous presentation of a repro antique knife. As for profile, it would have been a good design as is, not having a guard. Guards on knives made for working game are not desired or necessary. They only get in the way.

In fairness, I've never gutted an butcher anything above a 200lb whitetail, but I don't like a guard on a gutting knife. I tend to either slice hard, or hold the blade itself for detailed paring. One has to push forward for the hand to slip forward and I only ever find myself pulling.

Respectfully................Of the 50 + , or so whitetails I eviscerated in daylight and in total darkness , I make a tiny incision back between and ahead of the belly of the deer big enough to insert the point of the knife just under the skin . Since I'm right handed , the blade is guided by my left hand palm up , first two fingers under the hide one on each side of the blade , sharp side facing forward. W/o cutting into the guts , incise forward to the sternum. Now comes the cut where a good knife does it's work. Insert the blade in far enough into the chest and separate one side of the ribs from the sternum. This allows access to the wind pipe , heart , and lungs. That operation usually makes the better part of the knife bloody. Pulling back on the wind pipe and lungs allows their removal back to the diaphragm. Incise the periphery of the diaphragm from the chest wall and with some few cuts of gut connective tissue , the forward section of the guts back to the pelvis , can be rolled out of the animal. By this time most of the knife is bloody and slippery. My knives are medical scalpel sharp , leaving no room for error. Not going to describe the rest of the evisceration process as it has no bearing on movement of the knife forward of the pelvis.
My comment in no way was meant to denigrate the structure and purpose of your beautiful knife. I could never own or construct a beauty like it. I wish you well.............. oldwood

I've never desired to own a knife (working knife) with a guard. I feel that the guards are there to lure buyers, not there for practical reasons. I know the Buck owners are going to crucify me over that! I never saw a guard on a Rapala and I "dressed" more trout and Bass with one of those than most folks will see in a lifetime? A few varmints too!
Just my $0.02

I am fortunate in a way to live where I do as for the most part we do not have tags and seasons the same way that you do in the states. The positive being that I have been in on the killing and butchering of lots of big game, if you know how to use a knife properly a guard is not necessary. I've never used one and personally wouldn't want to own one.

For what it's worth I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of your knives, but with currency exchange and shipping it's a bit beyond my means. They are beautiful though!

Yep, a Yakut knife. Used for centuries by the Yakutian people. Check out a youtube channel called Bertram Craft and Wildlerness. He uses those exclusively as that is his part of the world. Dude never talks but shows many excellent backwoods and primitive skills using gear he makes himself including knives and axes.
