  • for a friend of a friend

    a good friend of mine has a friend who had a bunch of sheds he wanted to get rid of

    so my friend worked out a trade between his friend and myself
    his friend gave me a box full of antlers for knife handles and all i had to do was make him a knife from a special shed he found many many years ago on his grandfathers farm

    well got his knife finished up today,now i just need to make a display stand for it
    i hope he likes it

    the blade is mahogony/gold sheen obsidian

    sorry my photo skills dont do this piece justice

    Sneaky - that shed looks really really old and goes quite nicely with your absolutely beautiful blade. That is truly an awesome combination and your friends friend will be tickled pink to get it.

      I am with Sneaky on this one. That's awesome! I have enough trouble with a modern knife doing that.

        thanks Ron.
        the material is actually mahogony/gold sheen obsidian. wish i could have gotten a better pic in the sunlight that showed the gold sheen in it.
        but sadly i knap better than i take pictures.but there is a lot of gold sheen in it when you see it in person.

      Where did you get the beautiful lithic ?
      Sneaky when you put your blade in do you do it NA with pine tar or do you use appoxiy . Just asking cause wayne is really getting into making these .
      He doesn’t knap but he loves to make the bases and I live to color them all natural . I know you like sinew but we just used bees wax on some . Do tell

        thanks Tam.

        most of my knives are hafted with a two part epoxy,i add some antler dust to the epoxy so the epoxy blends well with the antler.
        sometimes i do make more primitive knives.those will be hafted with pine pitch that i make,and then wrapped with real sinew.

        i dont seem to make as many primitive knives as i do the others.they dont sell as well.
        for some reason or other most folks dont like the looks of pine pitch and sinew.

      That contrast between materials really brings out the beauty of that piece...great piece of work Sneaky...
