have finally put some more knives together
I have 7 that I'm going to put up for grabs if anyone's interested

Here's the other four...let's number them 4, 5, 6, and, 7 top to bottom

They are going to be $65 ea

please add $5 for shipping.

I do accept Paypal and I may only be able to ship on friday or saturday



for those of you who don't know about obsidian , check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsidian
and this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapping

Now, let it be known that Obsidian, being a natural "glass" can be very sharp,
but also very brittle. So this is not a type of blade you would want for everyday use (thats what all the quality steel blades listed on this site are for) but should be considered "collectible art pieces" reminescent of the stone age, before man learned the superior properties of iron and steel.

I have a handful of these knives made and if there is any interest shown, I may be able to get some more together. All the blades are hafted to a whitetail antler handle, using high strength epoxies and artificial sinews. I do not offer a sheath, as you will most likely put this in your display case anyways.
 
Every time I see your knapped knives as a post topic, I have to look. They are awesome. Great job.
 
Hey bud, those are really nice looking if i was working i would definately take some off your hands, hopefully you keep making them and i will definately purchase in the "hopeful" near future. thanks

Ha, I already have photo ideas for them. I'll post them here when I get the two knives. I'm really excited to get them. I wish I could afford to get a 3rd, but I spent to much already.
 
I got the knives tonight. They are really sweet! I had time for a quick shot of the grey blade. It is really smokey but it's hard to tell in this shot. I was trying to accentuate the the texture.
