New knife
« on: February 17, 2009, 07:22:29 pm »
Here is a nice little project I just finished.
Antique glass and an old shed antler tine put together with some pitch glue.
Enjoy and all feedback is appreciated. I know my knapping needs work, but I am trying

Thanks. I need to put a fine edge on it. I dulled it a little to set it in the handle.

  Man, TJ, your knapping has improved a 100fold. That blade looks good. And late period NDN's used glass quite a bit.

Cool knife!  8) You could round the forward edge of the antler a bit for a more smooth transition. but it is still a cool knife. Not too bad for a nurse! ;)

Nice knife TJ! I like the color of that glass also - the knapping even looks antique for some reason. Are you sure that's not an artifact ;D?

 Greg, it is antique, decorative glass that used to on the sides of buildings. It was stuck on with cement or tar. It also comes in purple, tan, white and green.
