I've been out in the garage all day working on a deer hide and between stretchin sessions these came out. Hide didn't turn out so well, but I kinda like the turkey cutter!
The pine tree notches stalled on me, but I kinda expected that. The keokuck is hard for me to run notches in, but the overall shape was close. Just need to keep practicing on that one
-
This point came out super sharp. Not sure how much it weighs, but it would be a deer slayer for sure.

I don't see any problems with the notches. I've never seen a turkey knife, I like it. It really looks good with the blade.

Very cool! I've never seen a knife like that either :) the serrations on the pine tree look great! Way to go man!
-
Nice stuff. Funny how being out in the shop can chain react into tinkering ' Frank

Really impressed with all your points, especially the turkey foot blade. Very cool!

I don't see where you need any more practice. That's a very clean blade there and the points are just fine - knap on!

Thanks guys. A friend gave me that turkey foot and asked me to make a knife with it. I've been holdin on to that tthing for a couple years. Finally had the right blade to make it look good.
Bonepile - I think he just sprayed it with poly after it had dried good and hard.

Cool idea with the turkey foot.
