Did you knap the blade yourself? If so that's awesome. I make arrowheads but none look as good as that puppy. Great looking knife!
Make every shot count cause ya might not get another.

I like it, about as primitive as it gets. Have you ever field dressed a big game animal with one?  I wouldn't mind trying, just to have done it once. :tup:

Looks good.  Is it usable or simply decorative?

Thanks guys! It's a great thing to know how to do and fun when your don't break them :chuckle: I am a pretty laid back guy but when I break a blade I have 5-10 hrs on, well lets just say I am a little upset :chuckle:

I am just using scraps of horns to display them on jason. I have not made a sheath yet, but will for the ones I will be using.

I find it amazing that there was  population of "people" that used this as a way of life. Cranking these pieces out daily. When I was a young lad, I used to follow my dad around hunting/looking for arrowheads in the mid west. We found ALOT (in the farmed fields/streams). They are about as sharp hundreds of years later as the day they were made. I wish I had the gumption to try and make a one or a few.

One of these days maybe I will post up a set of pictures of his collection. Illegal in WA, but not in MO (yet!!!!)

Yeah that is very cool! I would love to see some of them. The clovis point was often times made from chert and is one of the most popular points found here in washington. The cool art with them was the flute flake that was drove from the back of the point towards the tip. It takes a lot of talent to do those points and not break them.

Very nice work, looks great!
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.
