I think your pictures are perfectly good (such things being outside of my primitive ability). The leg bone grip looks bazarre. the others with other materials look great, though.
I was wondering, since flint is not found everywhere, if you would attempt to make a copper knife or axe if you could dig copper out of the ground (which is where the flint comes from)? Just wondering, since a copper knife is actually quite primitive.
I've been interested in primitive skills ever since I read Larry Dean Olsen's book, Outdoor Survival Skills, decades ago. The past 25 years, or so, I have been striving to learn the skills...flintkapping, hide working, friction fires, edible & medicinal plants, etc. Having gained some proficiency, I have been demonstrating and teaching at historical events and gatherings. It is a never ending journey.
