Last weekend I received a real special gift from my buddy Mike AKA sticks and stones. We were sitting around the fire and he pulls out a blade already set in a bone to wrap with some sinew. He finished it up and hands it to me and says this is for you. This blade was knapped by Norm Blaker. For you guys that don't know Norm he is an absolute living legend in the world of primitive skills. He shows up to Marshal every year and I believe he's right around 80 years old. I first got the chance to meet him about 4 or 5 years ago at marshall. I recognized him from reading about him when I was young and let me tell you he doesn't look any different. Mike knew I always admired him and thought this piece would suit me well. Once again Mike thank you it will always be treasured
