Title: knives
Post by: JEB on December 21, 2017, 01:21:08 pm

Made 8 knives over the last two weeks.  Most will be given away.  The third knife from the left is polychrome and the 4th from the left is good old California rock  aka, snow flake obsidian.

I like them all very much Jeb. Beautiful knives that I'm sure we be well received. Their all great but I've never see such a pretty novaculite that looks not only beautiful but very slick. Did you heat treat it? It always seems the novaculite I've used has been a bit grainy.

As I said on the other site I love the snowflake and cholla handles. But just noticed the one third from the right in the first pic. Obsidian? Again Great Craftsmanship. John
