Here
is a real nice Obsidian knife made by Jim Weller. A while
back, Jim asked for some antler tines to make atlatl foreshafts
out of. They worked great, but he took one and make a
knife handle out of it. Jim says; "it fits the hand
well either side up and has a nice pommel.." It has
a Green obsidian blade with deer gut hafting thick enough
to keep your fingers from sliding up over the blade if
you hit bone on a stab, all covered in wax from his own
bees. "It's seen a bit of use, as you can tell from
the nicks and dings here and there, but not yet bad enough
to need a resharpening yet."
Thanks for sending the picture Jim!
