Title: New to knapping, my first knife
Post by: Dvshunter on December 15, 2018, 10:57:05 pm

Made my first knife today. Made from a piece of glass I salvaged from the river while kayaking and the antler from one of my selfbow kills.

Me to Dave. It might be a bit early but it's time for me to start getting ready.

Nice start, keep at it. Fingers (hand showing) look free from cuts and gashes. Rick B
