Flint knife
« on: February 17, 2014, 11:26:26 am »
This is my third knife. It was from a large flake/spall from the outside of the stone. Some of the cortex is visible on one side.  I really just threw it all together. I have 3 hrs in the whole knife( that probably shows). I had to stain the antler because it was sun bleached.  It is hafted and epoxied. I put carbon in the epoxy to make it look like pine pitch.  But that didn't work out that well, it gust got everywhere.

Thanks everybody. I was surprised that I got a blade out for the spall. I'm going to try to clean up the black stuff.

Sweet looking knife.  What's the stone?

Thanks Ink, we will talk brother.

Tower, this came from a big nodule that you gave me. The ones with all the cortex found on the road. This was from a small spall.  Thanks again for reaching out that time.  8)
