Someone needs to give me some knapping lessons and I would love to learn all natural knapping.
However, bearfoot just might be to much to expect from me. :D

I think you can send mine on up any time, cuzzin. And I'm a whole lot closer to the spring of the Parker branch than Eddie, he's one a them flatlander twicet removed Parkers. ;D Awesome knives, James-I think anybody who gets one of those should be hohohoing. :)
-
Those are very nice James.. Ulu shaped one..
-
Holy cow! Let me wipe the slobber off my mouth. OK, ahem.....Wow James! I played with that oblique transverse whatever you call it once but failed misserably ;D. How would a person get on yer Christmas list by the way ::).

Killer blades JP. I was gonna post mine, but I think I better wait....
Hey, I saw Rick Robbins last night, the fly rod builder....did you know he lives two hollows over from me? He told me you and he had met this summer....
Happy Holidays sir!

Dang Dude! Man that is a nice array! I am with Cowboy. That is some beautiful Flaking! Yeah, I guess if Poor ol Eddie ain't gonna get one, I guess I ain't either. Oh well, maybe one day, I will be sorta that good, and try my hand at that. If I can just get the material, and get it spalled off right. Again, those are awesome! :o :)

Beautiful flaking! fog?
-
Man, those are slick. That ulu is cool, don't see many of them. And the ugliness just comes with the gene pool, how in the world could we be purty if we're even remotely related to something that looks like you? ;D It's a good thing you can knap that good and build all them purty bows and stuff, since you sure ain't gonna get rich in the modeling business. ;D
-
Ulu? I thought it was a Bat-A-Rang :D
-
I like them all! but my favorite is the one in the second close up with the fluted wood handle. SWEET!
-
Dang it Hillbilly! I think I'd be insulted if I didn't know that the distant Cuz' was a dead ringer for Earnest T. Bass.
-
Inspiring James.. the same insparaction i got 8 years ago when i seen your work..
-
Very nice ! I have something to shoot for now........to be that good at knapping 8)
-
Man, how does one go about getting into that family....simply beautiful
-
Wow James! Those are awesome! Really like the dacite(Danish?) dagger....Brian
-
Dang it Hillbilly! I think I'd be insulted if I didn't know that the distant Cuz' was a dead ringer for Earnest T. Bass.
i had a great uncle that looked exactly like ernest t. bass.i mean dead on ringer,could have been twins
-
Beautiful bunch of work,wished I could get on your Christmas list. ;) ;D

Hillbilly, if it wernt fer them Parkers, the rest of us would not be so too pretty good looking. Whut with usin them as a comparison, and so forth. I heard that one family of them Parkers, were so ugly, that when they went huntin they didn't take anything, to shoot with, they just " uglied " the critters to death. They would see a squirrel, or rabbit, or deer, or whatever, and they would hide their face, and then when they were close enough, they would just look up at the critter, and it would just fall over dead. The old man is still huntin, but his wife had to quit. As she got older, she got uglier, and when she uglied the critters, she was tearing them up too bad. ;D ;D No offense meant to the various clans of Parkers, that are scattered about. Especially those that made the old Parker Brothers shotguns, one of which I have, and the Parkers who made ;)those pens...... Now about them knives......Absolutely beautiful. ;) Those are going to be some fantastic Christmas Gifts. If flattery will help, I will be more than glad to change the above story, to another name......Eddie doesn't need one, he can make his own. I on the other hand, am still a rank amateur, and would hold, and admire one of those knives, especially one of the daggers, with the Ulu. I would love it, and hug it, and I would call it George......I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and there is something wonderful under your tree, tomorrow.
;D ;D Wayne ;D ;D

Nice work James, maybe you could make Pat a razor. :o ;D
