Obsidian knife for a friend

I assembled this obsidian knife for a friend that lends me his tractor for driveway scraping. The mahogany obsidian blade was knapped by Hickory Bill I think. I hafted it to a shed spike elk antler I found in the San Juan Mountains when I went elk hunting with Kenneth(Little John). I used 2 ton epoxy to haft the blade(for durability) but wrapped it with deer back sinew and sealed the wrap with pitch varnish. The stand is made from a slab from a 2" diameter osage pole and a shed deer antler.

Thanks guys. I like the way the shape of the handle and the blade flow together. Like they were made for each other.

Now that's cool! That little piece of antler really fits that blade well. The display stand is a nice touch as well. Josh

I know that knife won't scrape your driveway by itself.
But! -- the way you present it should keep your shocks
in good shape for a couple years. Artistic.

Thanks guys. I delivered the knife today but the recipient was in a meeting so I didn't get to see his reaction. I'm sure I'll hear back from Sam soon.
