couple of knives
« on: October 30, 2018, 08:04:09 am »
Here are 2 knives I just finished up.  Both blades were knapped by Dan Hamblin. The skinner  is Wyoming oil chert, stemmed and the jaw-bone is coyote. The detail knife is also stemmed and the jaw-bone is coon. Blades are set with Spruce glue and hafted with rawhide and sinew, respectively.

Those are sweet. Are the jaw bones hollow to slide the stone into? John

thank you all for the very nice comments.
Stoner, while the jaw bones have a nerve channel they are mostly solid. The bone and 1 or 2 molar roots have to be carved out to fit the shape of the tang. If ya look close at the small blade you can see where the spruce glue actually worked out some around the molar.

Rich,

Sure appreciated utilizing and "really using" some of my work.  That Wyoming Oil Chert will cut tin.   Very strong stuff that holds an edge really good.   And of course, they are halfed with the best pitch I have ever used.  Thanks so much my friend.

Thanks again for the nice comments.

Dan, ya knap a wicked blade my friend, There have been a lot of deer and even a buffalo skinned with your blades....they walk the walk

Don, My trip through the all natural/primitive style is/was a lot more fun with friends like you. Nice to compare notes and experiences with you sir, not to mention all your help and the never-ending supply of trade goods.
