Title: My sons 11
Post by: bjrogg on December 05, 2021, 11:21:47 am

I posted these corner tang blades up top in the point of the month challenge. Hopefully someone else will post theirs. I miss the point of the month. If anyone is wondering, it’s not a competition. It’s just a challenge to yourself. To try to make a point that someone post . I think it really helps to make a point instead of just ending up with a point.

As I stated above I have a plan for these two blades. My son got his second deer. A spike. We affectionately call it a 11. 1&1. He doesn’t know I saved them. I’m making him a Christmas present.

Not quite matching, but pretty close. One spike was bigger than the other. So one blade is longer than the other.

Now I need to display them. Think I have a idea in my head.

Thanks White Falcon.

I’m getting closer to finished.

Made a little plaque for them from scrap black walnut. Here’s the back.

Have to let it dry before I can finish.

Thanks Rob

Thanks Jerry, I m guessing long after I’m gone. I know he enjoyed this hunt. Hopefully he will enjoy his 11 now and remember this hunt for a long time.

Thanks Allyn. I really do appreciate all the kind words.

I hope some try the point of the month challenge though. They don’t have to look perfect and you don’t even have to post them. It would be nice to tell us you tried though.

I do think just trying to make a point someone else posted instead of just making what I happened to get made me a much improved Knapper

Bjrogg

PS thanks again for looking
