Knapped knife
« on: June 24, 2024, 04:32:41 AM »
  A few weeks ago I was sent a box of obsidian ,plate glass and a beginners kit with some very useful knapping tools from a really nice gentleman .
   I’ve never had any lessons but always wanted to try my hand at knapping since I was a teenager.
  Well in 2-1/2 weeks I’ve been practicing so much with plate glass and obsidian .
  I’ve made some antler tools with copper rod inserted from a friends buck antler who passed a way last year .
  So here is what I’ve made as far as knives so far .
 The butt cap is from some scrap wood that came from a local guitar shop and I did use artificial sinew around the front of handle and made up some pine rosin with a little pure bees wax too. Soften it a bit so I could shape it before it hardened .

That is so cool! I wish I could do that. Nice job!
