Title: Stone, bone, and sinew
Post by: Stringman on February 14, 2013, 01:59:16 pm

Just finished these last night. One is obsidian with antler and a cherry cap. The other is antler with TX chert and a buff horn cap. Both feel real nice in the hand and sharp enough to cut your steak with.

Thanks Will. It allows me to use antler pieces that might otherwise get tossed.

Thanks guys! I'm really enjoying putting these knives together. Just finished the last one of this batch. It has an oddly comfortable fit in your hand. Would make a nice little skinnner.

what kind of sinew?

Deer backstrap sinew. I like the longer strands and it is super easy to process.
