Got a chance to sit and knapp a couple out ,the smaller one was done first.I had one of those square cowboy rocks and was able to knock a few blade spalls off it,which made for a bigger knife blade.Hope to try these out soon .Looking at some books at the different tang styles there's a base tang,does anyone know if that was held by a cord also ? Thanx

Well, here is my attempt at a tang knife. It would of been longer but I broke it  >:( So not only did I get a small knife ,I was able to get a point out of the broken tip.  :)
They are made from glass. The knife is about 2 3/4" - 3" long. Joe
