Stone Knife

[Chasper]

No wood involved, but it is something else I make. The blade of this fillet knife is translucent gray obsidian, the handle is Corian. How is that for an anacronyism?

Modern primitive. No contradiction about it's beauty.

Wonderful knife!!!

That said...I would have used another handle material on that if it was me.

I cannot fathom how you made the blade...must be nerve wrecking every time you chip a piece off. My hat is off to you.

Real nice! That is an art, and you have the talent to do it. Turkhunter

I agree, Corian and flint knapping are too strange to combine. How about this one. Manogany obsidean, Minnesota pipestone handle, and sandstone display stand. The entire project was made with primative tools; hammerstones and antler to shape the blade, sandstone as a grinding stone to shape the handle and base. (OK, not everything is abo, the blade is attached to the handle with epoxy). Except for the epoxy everything is made of and from natural materials, but the shape is anything but authentic.
