Title: DEEP Notched Sonora Andice
Post by: Will H on January 30, 2013, 08:30:54 pm

Well I finally desided to take a break from other stuff and knock some rust off my knappin skills.  :laugh: I went up and visited Shannon (flintwalker) this weekend for a rabbit hunt with bows no less, and he ended up sending me home with a couple nodules of the prettiest best workin KY flint there is. Sonora! Anyway, I knocked this one out after work today. First thing I've made in a long while :)
5" long 2 1/4" wide and pretty dang thin... I run the notches 1 1/4" before deciding to stop. Here's a couple pics I took with my phone... Thanks fer lookin  :o
