I knap every now and then, as you can see. Been doing it for years but just enough to know how to make a tool or an arrowhead to use. Most of the stuff I make I give away as I figure, he ll, I can always make another one. I am humbled at many of those out there that I helped get started, some have gotten very passionate about it and have far outdone any quality that I can hope to achieve.

I just traded most of my rock, about 50lbs for a new pair of New Balance running shoes. Trading is so much fun.

Nice Job, What is wraped on the handle of Kabar One?

Thanks.

Caveman Kabar #1 has a hemp wrap that was soaked in hide glue. Then waxed. Deer or elk back sinew is wrapped to hold on the blade. Under the sinew, is epoxy. Pitch is nice, but epoxy is permanent.

Now that ya'll have seen my foo foo stuff, here is what I use in the field.


My hand ax, great for cutting and sawing, fits my right hand just right. Also throws a good spark.

My gutter and skinner. I've skinned numerous deer and hogs with it.

Back up skinner. Used on one hog so far.

Not pretty, but useful. The first skinner is a chert from Israel, naturally heat treated.

You should try working heat treated flint, it chips easy. But the color is out of place. Iv'e been sticking to obsidian.
