Heres one I finished up rescently, yall take a look.    :readit:    

Osage capped deer antler handle, peacock jasper blade knapped by Bill Skinner and myself.  

Epoxied the caps on each end, drilled the hole for the blade, epoxied it in, with a 1 1/8" tang through the osage into antler for durability.

 


Note the natural curve in the antler where the G3 was, I decided to keep it and work it into a nice thumbrest.
 

Osage buttcap rasped, filed and sanded flush with the antler for a clean look and feel.

 

 

 

The pics really dont do this knife justice. Or maybe its my photography skills.     "[dntthnk]"

That is my favorite stone knife to date, I like the hedgeapple caps!

I got a Knapping DVD for CHRISTmas and was thinking of giving knapping a try, That knife just pushed me over the top!

Glad yall like it, most of the credit for knapping should go to Bill Skinner, not I.

All I did was shorten the blade and slightly reshape and sharpen it.
