I had found a really neat bone at the TX Sweat 07. It is a sun bleached tibia from some small critter possibly a goat as that is what we were hunting. What makes this bone special is at some point in her ( I refer to my bows & knives in the feminine) life, she fractured this bone. It healed with a large callus and a deviation from straightness. So she actually die from some other demise besides the accident that broke her leg.

I had been wanting to go back to a more primitive forging so I made up a blade with all my tapers done by hammering and not grinding...more of a Fur Trapper Era. I slotted the bone and pinned in a partial tang. Then filled the marrow cavity with an osage plug. tippit

When I'm hunting I seem to spend 1/2 my time looking at the ground around me. Just love to incorporate all those neat finds as much as the hunting itself

Doc, amazing! There are some knifes that just jump out at you and say "Look at me, I'm ready for the job". That is one that talks to me when I see it

Frank, thanks for sharing your work and the way you treat all of us.
