Madcrow is there anything you can't make you do some nice work I was wondering if you could post a pic of the edge of the blade.

That's for sure. When it comes to making and carrying a compound bow, madcrow sucks worse than the vacuum of outer space!  Other than that, I think of him as madskillscrow.

Here are teh other pics of the edge.  Pretty much just file them or use a belt sander and sand the edge as sharp as you want.  Use 60 grit on a belt sander and hold the knife steady and the result is very tiny sharp serrations.  These were done a little smoother but are still very sharp.  I used one to slice some ham last night.

Great looking primitive knives.  Is the jute twine handle wraps glued done or just wrapped tight?

They are just wrapped tight.  I have tried rubbing TB2 on the outside before, but it dries too hard.  On the next batch I will experiment and put a little hide glue on the bone and maybe some deer grease on the outside.

I knew there was something I meant to .........  no I don't cook them.  The handles are short so I can dig the marrow out with a Q tip.
