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!
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
?

Good looking knife! I wonder what that glass used to be part of?

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.
