Title: a little knife
Post by: ozy clint on April 23, 2010, 05:56:55 am

hey guys i just finished my 1st stone knife.
it's made from dacite. 'Aaron' off here traded me some rock for some shark and kangaroo leather i had.

the blade is about 3" long, not huge but i'm stoked at having made my 1st stone knife. i hafted it to a piece of whitetail antler the guy sent me. i used some pine pitch and sinew to haft it. the pine pitch and sinew i made/harvested myself.

looking forward to putting it to use.
