Hello Gary,
:idea: How about a "stoneage" knife ?
The pics are on my pc, so unfortunately I can not upload the images directly to this board. But if you're interested I can send them by email (or if somebody here can help uploading, I can send the pics to them :?: ).
At the moment I have two such knives finished. One with a white blade and one with a black blade.
The white blade (with streaks of grey, purple and pink/red) is made of fossil coral and knapped partly by American Michael Stafford and partly by myself.
The black blade is made of black lace obsidian (volcanic glass) and knapped by one of (if not THE) best flintknapper today: Errett Callahan (American).
Both knives are assembled by me. Handles made of whale bone (Blue Whale shot around 1930). Blades are glued into the handle with a mixture of pinepitch and charcoal (a few nettle fibers added). Then lashed with reindeer rawhide.
I also have a noggin knife finished with handle of curly grained birch, whalebone, and a silver spacer. Blade forged by Steen Nielsen, who is one of the best bladesmiths in Norway today. I have not made a sheath for this knife yet, but will make that my first priority if you'll trade for that one :-D .
