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.

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