Glass Knife Blade Almost Hafted (pic)

[Steven Saffold]

Im making this knife for my grandpa. He likes the fact that I have hobbies like primitive skills and knapping. He used to be a sculptor, sketcher, and artist.

That's lovely

How have you attached the blade to the handle?

 

[Steven Saffold]

Tony,
I sawed a notch with a hand saw,,,, Tommorrow I will finish the notch and add epoxy and sinew.

fantastic work mate, thanks for showing us
does glass as a material act the same as flint, or is it a very different thing to use?

Fantastic work there Steven, it's a lovely piece :notworthy

Thanks Guys,,,

TomTom,, The knife is mainly for decoration,, Glass could not serve as a good tool, Hard flints would make a very useful knife.

Cronos,, It was pretty easy because it came from a slab and It was already preformed into the shape of a knife, so all I had to do was thin it and sharpen it.

Pretty impressive knife, even more impressed by the picture in the background. Seems like the whole family are artists.
