Davis creek obsidian knife.

Hey Bret, That's a beautiful blade. I think it's golden. Bronze is third place and this blade is certainly first place.

Do you go on outings or trips, Working vacations to get your lithics or how do you acquire it all?

[beatup1354]

Fat when i lived in washington state i used to go to all the obsidian pits in oregon and california when i was younger now when i am in arizona in the winter i just go to the rock shows in tucson and quartzsite. But if you wanted to go to davis creek or lassen creek you could not get in there as they closed all digging for obsidian in the modoc national forest for the 2020 season and they may not open it up next year also because of outlaw miners digging where they arn't supposed to

Have you seen the Nephorite?sp?? Jade? From Oregon? Ive seen and found a few, adzes that the people of the NWest “chopped“ boats and poles with.
There ground and polished.
Maybe not knappable?

[beatup1354]

I never found an adz but my brother has a couple nice phallic pestles made from it

[Hal Gorges]

Beautiful..it would be a cryin shame to cover that workmanship with a handle..

[beatup1354]

Hal i am to lazy to make handles

[Hal Gorges]

Hey Brett, Lol....p.s. I love the way the design on the blade mimics the blade itself,

[antmike915]

amazing work Brett, as usual. Like a blade within a blade.

I’m not sure if it’s one thing or another on this piece Bret. I’ve come back to look at the pics several times.. For some reason, it gives me a sense of calm... I’m not sure if it’s the color, workmanship, or both...

[Fat]

I have looked at it several times also.
the overall shape of the blade reminds more of a “buck hunting/debone blade knife” the way the point is shaped and that belly.
The shade look as if its “damascus steel”
I like all the blades shown here Love them more like, but, they are so perfect, they are past perfect. You all have taken the artistry of symmetry above and beyond. Dont stop.

This blade has that industrial shape and look, made for work, but the fact it is glass hand made.
