    Default Stone spearhead knife

    Okay, it isnt stone but it is my attempt at making a blade to look like it is. I will fit it with a hickory handle and "lash it" around the notches in the spear head. I dont have any sinew, so I'll have to use thin twine. What do you think?

    I did make two mistakes already..I usually do the majority of the clean up after heat treat but I wont be able to with this one or I will wipe the "Knapp marks" out so I have some deep sanding belt scratches that I should have cleaned up first but I will have to live with now. Also, I should have gone with a convex grind so I could have marked it much farther through the blade..I might try again.

    I like the look too, and you can never go wrong when you make it all yourself! Props!!

    Is this a hacking tool, for hunting, or just for fun?
    I ask because there are some differences in the way it's "hafted".

    If you have a Hobby Lobby near you they have artificial sinew in the leather section. You can get a small spool or a large one. It's waxed string but looks like sinew.

    My local Tandy store carries artificial sinew as well.

    Oh, yeah, the knife (chuckle) forgot, sorry. I don't see the scratches and most would probably figure its part of the pattern anyway. Maybe the pics are hiding them, I don't know. But I do like it.

    Pretty Darn cool!! Probably especially attractive to "Reenactors", if it is up for sale.

    This is really just a drop point that has been "distressed" to look the way it does. In hine site, I wish I would have gone with a convex, two sided blade to really give it the look I was after.

    Nope, I think Pancho did one a little while back.

    I did make one but it wasn't this style. I have been wanting to make a primitive looking dagger like this as well. If I ever get set up to forge I want to make an aztec sacrificial looking dagger out of steel. Camp I think you are right about the convex grinds. Still.. it is very very cool just the way it is.!!
