Just finished a Basalt knife with a apple handle. Nice and basic and works well. Enjoy

Very nice handle, would be nice to see more of the rock though 👍 (in the pictures) well done 😏

Knotty I thought about that after I had finished the knife. I should have taken pictures of the point. :o

Very cool. I certainly wouldn't mind a bucket full of fine grained basalt.

That's so awesome! I have basalt but it doesn't knap worth a darn!
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short. Amen.

I usually break it as well. This one was a nice spall that was already thin so I only had to shape it and drive a few flake to take off lumps and finish it up.
