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

I have a question is there any risk on them breaking during shipping, or are they not THAT fragile? also does price include shipping and do you take paypal, let me know those things are awesome.

 

[teddyrandell]

If the package were crushed then theres a chance they'd break but not if it was just dropped as I tend to pack them very well. I've shipped 100+ of these type of knives and never had one break in shipment.

I do accept PayPal and the price includes shipping to the US.

You can let me know which knives you want and I can send you an invoice.

 

[Apollyon]

Well then Ill take 3# and 4# via paypal with american express. pm sent

#3 and #4 are SOLD
