I finally finished the knife I'm making for my youngest boy. He found the ceramic plate piece in the creek out front here. I had a deer bone from last years kill and asked him which way he thought it should be hafted and he said on the end w/ the slot already in it, the joint end. So I filed the bone down, opened up the slot and mounted the blade. I used pine pitch my oldest, 8, and I made last fall, sinew from last years deer maybe even the same one the bone came from, then I wrapped the handle in goat sinew from a goat I butchered a couple of years ago. The butt end I might even be able to hold a spear if I get if whittled down enough to fit into the bone. It's pretty darn sharp for a ceramic plate and I've got the ok to use it on the next animal we butcher, then I'm giving to my youngest, he's 5 now. Hope you like it, and thanks for looking. dpgratz
