Sling blade?
« on: July 25, 2011, 11:21:29 pm »
Not sure what you would call it, so I guess it's just a blade. Started out from a long narrow piece with fat ends and very thin in it's mid section. Figured I'd break it with every swing, but it held. Got lucky. :o The tip and base are still thicker than they need to be, but I have learned to leave well enough alone. :-X

Now, I like them taters!

Yes ma'am.  I've killed Doyle Hargraves with a big stone blade.  Yes ma'am I'm right sure of it.  I hit him two good whacks in the head with it.

Nice blade, Timo.

As crocodile Dundee may say; you call that a knife, now here's a knife! (Something like that....)

great work...put a big antler handle on it and make a "long knife" out of it.
