as some of you may know I am starting flint knapping. and yesterday and today I have been working on a stone age penknife/multi tool. all went to plan and it has a serrated saw blade, a knife edge that will cut you for just looking at it and a rather cool gut-hook for skinning animals. I'm guessing you now want to see some pictures so.... here they are :laugh:

I took this picture before I added the saw edge

this is looking at the gut-hook

the reason the bit on the bottom is so round and thick is so that it does not pierce the skin or inner linining of the skin.
