Title: Knife,point, and the real things
Post by: Sasquatch on March 23, 2015, 03:18:35 pm

At our ranch in Texas Hill country this week i found some points by the old boys.  some were in the bottom of a cave and some were laying on top of the ground.   As we were hunting arrowheads i found some flint and made a point from it.  The point is a sabinal, because i have found two sabinal points that were made from the same material.   As i was in the hill country i was invited to some property to pick up flint.  I found lots of good stone there.  But lots was freeze cracked and crazed.  I made this knife as a gift for the son of the man.

Giving a knife like that you should get a big welcome next time. The point is pretty too.

Thanks everybody. The wood is mesquite.  The point stone was raw.

Sounds like a fun time! Love the combo of materials on that knife. That mesquite is purty!
