First try at a knife

(1/1)

Muskyman:
Started looking at the obsidian I had bought a while back. I hadn’t really even unpacked it. It came wrapped individually in paper inside the box. Found a pretty big piece and thought, what the heck.
Ended up with what I’m calling a knife blade. It ain’t great and has plenty that could be better but for my first try at one and the way other stuff has gone I figured it’s okay. It was quite a bit wider top to bottom but I had a big hump on one side and I finally got it off with indirect.
I wanted to keep trying to fix stuff on it but figured I’d probably just break it so I quit..
Might clean it up and try and fix stuff another day.

Piddler:
As I'm just delving into this rabbit hole. Looks good. Maybe I'll get there one day.

bjrogg:
Looks great Muskyman.

Another battle won.

mullet:
It's getting there, Muskyman, looking good!

Allyn T:
You made your first knife way sooner than I did. Moving along quickly
