Title: All hammerstone knife blade
Post by: half eye on March 08, 2014, 06:46:16 pm

Fellas,  wanted to show off this knife blad that Dan Hamblin made for me. It's made with only hammerstones, no antler, flakers etc. It's set with pitch and raw-hide, the grip is curly maple in the shape of a Northern Pike. I make these handles for him, oh ya the eyes are bone beads.

Hope ya like it as much as I do. Plan on using it this coming deer season, if I manage to drop one that is.

Looks a little long, you might need to "pike" it.   >:D

Or maybe it smells a bit "muskie". 
 >:D

That knife is a stunner.  The fish effigy really cuts deep into my heart, lotsa mojo in that for me.  Tell Dan I heartily approve of his work!  Love it!

Half-eye.  Thanks for sharing my work.  Wish I could say they all turn out but you know how knapping goes sometimes.  Hopefully my arrow collection of Half-eye kills will grow some more this year.  Thanks for all the compliments fro the all you guys out there.

Walleye be danged, that was a right funny joke, Rich!  I have a couple other fish puns perched on the tip of my tongue, but some people in here carp about my sense of humor.
