Madder knife
« on: May 29, 2010, 05:45:47 pm »
I know everyone thinks skinning and meat cutting when stone tools are discussed.Well me and my better half went picking madders today and got us a bunch,here's some .

Well looking at the fruits of our labor I suddenly got the urge for a big juicy madder sandwich.I thought it would be cool to make a knife and get to eatin' a few .I dug out a chunk of that ledge flint we got last weekend and made this knife


I didn't bother with a handle,and boy it works just fine,now to pick a few peaches and make the meal complete

Thats cool Id have to say thats one heck of a load of tomatoes!  U cut them better with stone then some people do with a metal knife!  Good job!
Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

Nice Roger, and yes I will get you some rock tomorrow. Your the one that lives in a "rock challenged" area, not I.

Folks, those tomato`s are now selling at the U-pick farms for $1 a bucket load.Everything is blooming late and the markets are already flooded, same with our Blueberries here and Strawberries were the same a few months ago. That freeze we had for 2 weeks really hurt the farmers, of course we had over 30+ sinkholes just within a few miles of my house from all the farmers over watering to protect the crops

Excellent point and super haul of maters. Can't wait till mine produce.

Yeah I only grow a few maders but lots of peppers and onions.We'll can alot of those and make salsa etc.We picked a bucket full of romas for sauce.My son came into town last night went out to the table and started grazing,He had 3 gone before I told him to help himself.I have a couple more smaller peices of that ledge flint we'll see what they'll produce.
