since some of us are making grind over axes. im goin to do mine the older way :). i found some of the crappy stuff that does knapp down by the river.stage 1 find a rock that will knapp. and whack it in all the right places a few times...taper it front to back.....Tony

riverrat:
your going to need a handle....Tony

riverrat:
we are going to need a way to shape,grind this blade right? o.k. im going to cheat a little here. i just so happen to have ,onhand, a flat piece of old sandstone sidewalk. however, i know in my heart, that if i spent enough time by the maumee, id find a flat broke off natural piece of sand stone. i have in the past. but for right this minute, i have this piece.and water from my rain barrels instead of from the river itself.Tony

riverrat:
wife said this is messy. i have to go outside. its dark so looks like it might be a couple days till i get back to it. next two days i work.but ill post pics as i go. from beginning to end.end being a nice small sapling walnut tree id love to cut for a bow and a quiver! hey if you make it, you have to use it! lol Tony
