First one is another Silver Sheen obsidian blade. The overall length is 10 1/8"
This one is SOLD but the 9 1/2" one at the bottom is STILL AVAILABLE.
First "I'll take it" gets it!
Thanks for looking!
"These Knives are all hand knapped by myself, Teddy R Pruitt.
I started knapping at the age of 13 and have now been knapping off and on for around 14 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"
