Black Butter Knife
« on: April 05, 2012, 12:07:01 am »
I love the shine of the black butter.  This was almost a point, but I changed my mind at the last second.  Dacite on deer legbone.  Hafted with pine pitch, wrapped in sinew.  I also covered the sinew with a little hide glue.  I threw on the snakeskin before wrapping and when it all dried, I gave the handle a generous coat of pine pitch varnish.  While it was drying I tried my hand at weaving and made a simple sheath for it.

That's a butter knife to make the Land o' Lakes Maiden blush!  Oh wow, I like it.

Very nice.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

It all flows. Like that spike on the base of your handle. Nice knife!

Nice work
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!
