Latest Knife
This is the latest stone knife of two-toned novaculite with an elk antler handle. Slowly, but surely I am dusting off my primitive skills endeavors. Hit the woods last weekend to check it out and do some gathering of odds and ends.
I broke a good number of blades when I was learning to knap longer ones. You've really got to have good support of the full length and a good sense of how much force you can apply with percussion.

Absolutely beautiful!

Nice knife. I love the colour of that blade.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you keep at it.
That is a truly beautiful knife. I keep breaking mine, but I am still learning.
