flint knives

[primitive man]

hi guys thought i should post these.They were sent to me by a friend in america to handle. they are made from obsidian and kay county chert and glued and bound into an antler handle with pine pitch and artificial sinew.

many thanks alex

Beeeeautiful.

glad you like them

very nice, what are they like to use?

 

[primitive man]

it depends what you use them on, the two obsidian blades work best with meat and the white kay county chert works ok with wood and antler but they arn't very durable as they are very fine, but they are very nice to use.

i have now found a nice antler handle for the chert knife and will be finishing it tomorrow.

done a bit more on the chert knife just needs a bit of finishing done to it.
its made from antler and buffalo horn and needs its sinew wrap.feels lovely in the hand.

many thanks alex

how do you sharpen a flint knife ooi?

 

[primitive man]

all you do is chip away at the edge to add some sharp areas to the dull blade
