neck knife
« on: July 22, 2008, 10:15:40 pm »
I saw in a book or museums that native Americans sometimes wore small knives around their neck in a sheath.  Here is what I came up with.  The blade is Texas flint of some sort.  Antler, sinew wrap and beads strung on deerskin lace.

Very cool! I made a similar neck knife, using a Grizzly 190 grain 2 blade, and antler for handle.

Thanks, guys.  It did not take too long to string the beads.  Most time for knapping the blade and sewing the sheath.  Sheath is brown deerhide glued to goatskin rawhide to make it stiffer.

Ooooooo, I like that.   :o  I've got a couple of blade prefoms and I may have to make one of those.  I also like the one that PatB posted (or made for someone, I can't remember) that goes on a sheath on the arm bracer.  May need both.  Can't have too many knives.
