This knife is 9 1/4" overall with a 4 1/2" blade. I knapped the blade out of some Burns Green obsidian that is so dark it is pretty much black. It does have some faint swirls of green that follow the curve of the bottom edge.

Sold

These Knives are all hand knapped by myself, Teddy R Pruitt.
I started knapping at the age of 13 and have now been knapping for around 13 years.
All my knives are satisfaction guaranteed!

for those of you who want to 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 (that's what all the quality steel blades listed on this site are for) but should be considered "collectible art pieces" reminiscent of the stone age, before man learned the superior properties of iron and steel.

All the blades are hafted to a whitetail antler handle, using high strength epoxy and artificial sinew. I do not offer a sheath, as you will most likely put this in your display case anyways
