Title: 6 for trade
Post by: Stringman on August 10, 2012, 10:06:00 pm: I was able to interest a guy in a trade for some of my points and he wanted them all obsidian. It has been awhile since I hit any of that shiny stuff and I had to relearn on the first few. All told I only broke 5 or 6 before finishing the set. They are all between 145 and 150 grn.

Funny thing is my buddy came over this morning and he was looking at the blade. I said "now careful this is sharp," thinkin I would forewarn him a little. He picked it up and promptly cut his thumb a nice little slice and said "ouch!!" I just started laughin. He shoulda known better but that obsidian is just scary sharp!

Post by: Stringman on August 12, 2012, 11:13:30 am: I got some cane that I am using for my hunting set. I just love how tough and durable that stuff is. I havent seen that deer for a couple months now. I'm sure he is hanging around water like everything else.
