Keokuk Skinning knife
« on: April 30, 2022, 03:46:32 pm »


I think it came out pretty good.  The handle is made of American holly.  I attempted a bow from the holly but it didn’t workout so well.  I had another knapping epiphany, flake off the deltas.  Why wasn’t I doing this before?  The edge of the blade is very sharp by removing the deltas.  I use epoxy to set the blade, a little charcoal mixed in the epoxy gives the right color I think.
