Title: KY Blue blade
Post by: Will H on August 09, 2011, 01:04:26 am

I got lucky and knocked this one out after work today. Ive been trying to figure out freehand percussion after spending the weekend in the pit with Coyboy and SAWFILER. I didnt end up making a point this weekend but I think I learned something... :) Thanks again for the blue Shannon! And the Georgetown Paul!! You guys are the best  ;D ;D ;D

That looks great! Will I think you got it.  I was thinking of making a knife for hunting this winter.

That looks dam good Will! Looks to be percussion all the way? I'm not seeing your signature flaw across the middle on this one. Lol ;D.

Will, I used to percussion off the side of my leg an did okay but this summer started to free hand an just seemed like I got better flake scars an a little more zip out of my hits, also finally got  so I spaced my flakes out an this made a huge improvement on flake scars an thinning. Wished I could have been there, Shannon an Paul are both great knappers an fun to just bs with. Great looking blade an that blue is some pretty rock ;D ;D ;D
