Title: Andice and Bone
Post by: Will H on February 11, 2012, 10:23:22 pm

Heres a couple knives I made up this afternoon as gifts. The first is an Andice hafted to deer leg with pitch and sinew and the second is a little rootbeer blade I made a while back put on a tine with the same. I really like the way the andice worked as a knife. It was a little more trouble to pitch cleanly but the sinewing wasnt bad. I can see why native folks liked this design. What do yall think?

Sweet work once again Will!  I like the look of the Andice too.  Can't say I've seen one hafted.  Those long notches are awesome looking on there.  Great Job!! dpgratz

That makes the Andice design make a lot more sense.  Gorgeous knives, both of them.

Not sure how I missed this one. That is awesome and challenging to say the least. Sinew looks like it would take forever. Really like the material and fit. Well done Will!
