Title: First Knife
Post by: Mike Joe on October 06, 2013, 10:56:27 pm

I've been thinking about making a glass knife for a while, and after seeing TacticalFate's glass knife I decided to go for it. :D This is what I came up with. It's my first knife and I'm by no means an experienced knapper, but I enjoyed working on it. The blade is epoxied on, and I'm going to wrap the joint with rawhide.

Nice, try a little bit of heat treated flint. I think you'll find it easier to transition to flint.
