Title: lemonade from a lemon
Post by: Josh B on June 03, 2012, 02:33:20 pm

Well, I broke another attempted Clovis while trying to flute it.  So I followed some good advice offered by Bevan a while back when I goofed up a different obsidian point.  I made a small knife out of it.  Glass buttes obsidian, white tail brow tine handle and hafted with spruce pitch and black art. Sinew.  I'm planning on beading up a neck knife sheath for it later on.  Josh

That's an Idea. I could make a few already. What's the overall length?

Overall length is 5 3/4".  The blade ,including the tang is 2 1/2" x 1 1/8".  Josh

Thanks fellas!  If that's the case Bevan, I guess I made a lime-aid out of a lemon! ::) ;D. Josh
