Thanks John.... I really like the Early Ways of doing things....and I was brought up on a Cornish Farm...learning the Old Ways....Horse Drawn Farm Equipment...Hammer Forging Steel.. Log and Stonework....and am still trying to stick to them the best I can...thats why I am trying my Luck at Stone Knives....and Axes....maybe next I will learn to knapp Points!!!
Sparrow:
That's a great looking knife.Those sharp stone edges hold up fine until you try cutting bones or making the mistake of trying to pry something loose and snap the blade off.I made my first scabbard and just used a micro-blade knife and sinew.got her done.These days,I use artificial sinew and a stitching awl to do it faster and the art. sinew is more weather resistant.(Rains alot up here.)
