Title: First knife
Post by: madcrow on October 11, 2008, 10:00:35 pm

Here is one I knocked out and finally got hafted last night.  It started out to be a point, but in the final stages, I decided to make a knife.

That's pretty neat.  You sound like me.  I start off trying to make something but sometimes the rock just wants to be something else.  Listen to the rock.    8)

No, this one is different.  I work on the big chunk for a little while, then put it down before I mess up and work on something else.

It isn't as sharp as I wanted, but I am glad because everytime I look for it, one of the kids has it in their room for some reason.  It is still sharp enough to skin a deer with.  Hopefully, I will get some blood on it soon.
