"Use what you got" knife
« on: June 15, 2010, 01:45:19 pm »
I hate to waste purty wood, so I salvaged the handle off one of my failed "furniture bows" and shaped it into a handle for this recent obsidian blade I knapped.  The handle is locust over black walnut with accent stripes of maple and blood wood.  Epoxied in the blade.  What do you think?

Dang that's purty! And I got a couple of those riser sections salvaged the same way too!
I'm gonna have to knap a blade or two....if I can find a big enough piece to work! hmmmm. maybe dark glass!
Thanks for the idea.

Thanks, everyone.  Shannon, YOU are the artist!  Man, I enjoy seeing your stuff on the PA site.  Your points and bows are awesome.  Cowboy, Mullet, Jamie and all you guys are an inspiration.
