Rainbow Obsidian Knife

RickB:
Here's some photos of a knife made from rainbow obsidian that I knapped. I found the whitetail deer antler shed at a local flea market. The tips of the antler had been chewed by a rodent so I saved the base for a knife. The base of the antler is over two inches across the button. The first point coming off the antler was deformed and split into two sections thus making a perfect knife stand. The blade is two inches across at the base, 5/8 inch thick, double notched and is eight inches long. Total length of the finished knife is thirteen inches - quarter in second photo for size.  A friend of mine from Tennessee (Knappin' Jack Faxon) put the knife together - thanks Jack, you do good work. A perfect mammoth skinner. Enjoy, Rick B

That is a lot of pretty blade.  Would like to see a picture of the blade that would show it's thickness!  Joe
