I have a few knives together that I'll be posting here...
First one is 8 1/8" and made from Silver Sheen Obsidian
$60. Shipped to US
First "I'll take it" gets it!
"These Knives are all hand knapped by myself, Teddy R Pruitt.
I started knapping at the age of 13 in 1999 and has since been a hobby of mine along with a little wood working, playing acoustic guitar and banjo, and collecting authentic arrowheads.
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"
