And it was a success!
I was laying in bed looking over a knife I got for my father in a trade with Stringman, who is an awesome craftsman and nice guy. I traded a piece of what I thought to be snakey osage (actually was black locust) and a little spare cash for two stone knives, one with an antler handle and one with a turkey leg handle. When stringman let me know the wood I sent him wasn't in fact osage, he was cool enough to still honor our deal and send me the turkey handle knife for the money i sent him. (pic of my dad's birthday present turkey knife below)
So any way, I'm laying around playing with the knife and decide to try my hand at knapping again. Cut some tines off an antler, cut the bottom off a bottle, and an hour later I came up with this little number. Always understood the principles behind knapping, something just clicked tonight and I made it happen. It was an exciting break through and I think I found myself something to keep me in out've the cold and off the staves for a bit. No particular style, and not sure how much she weighs, but she's sharp and i made it!
hope ya like it!
