Nice! All I seem to be able to do is make little rocks out of big rocks.

Wow man, now that is something I'd really really really love to know how to do. Better yet, I think I'd die a happy man if I ever took big game with a knapped head. Sweet, Andrew.

Awesome stuff right there!!
First knife

Second knife

Third knife

First head

Couple of heads for some Scouts

These were all from preforms, so I will be working spalls once I get some free time. Haven't knapped in months now...

I'm with centaur, all I get are handfulls of little rocks from what used to be big rocks.

fido dog · « **Reply #7 on:** February 23, 2009, 07:17:00 PM »

My first knoves. I haven't made any since........guess I should. All are hafted with natural sinew.

Do any of you hunt with your points??

Wow! I just started last year and haven't done much over the winter because of an injury but seeing all this makes me itch to get back at it.

I'm flaking preforms. Does that count?

horatio1226 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 24, 2009, 08:28:00 PM »

Some points

fido dog · « **Reply #15 on:** February 24, 2009, 08:41:00 PM »

Preforms count BIG TIME! There is a nearly endless supply of rock. There is NOT and endless supply of varieties. If you want some Horse Creek Chert.......get it now. There are wonderful nappers that use this material from spalls and now it's scarce. You could have taken a spall and sliced it up into 5 preforms and made 5 points instead of one. It's a matter of responsible conservation.

Knapp on!

MYSTIKBOW · « **Reply #16 on:** February 24, 2009, 09:40:00 PM »

Jeez I hope they count! Here is a couple that I did from preforms.

MYSTIKBOW · « **Reply #17 on:** February 24, 2009, 09:49:00 PM »

Here are a couple of knives that I've built from blades that were made by friends and bought. ENJOY!

MYSTIKBOW · « **Reply #18 on:** February 24, 2009, 09:55:00 PM »

Even though this pic doesn't do this knife justice by a long shot, it is my all time favorite and is very sentimental to me.
I made this very special knife for my best friend of 30+ years just before he passed away last year.

I love "Knapping Porn".
