Re: Your favorite blades
Here is one of my new favorites a friend made himself....
Here you can really see how nice the knapping is. This thing is razor sharp! It's a fancy kind of obsidian.

Re: Your favorite blades
Here is my favorite working knife. A friend hand made it from D2 steel and tempered to low 60's Rockwell. He Made the sheath too. I absolutely have never owned a better blade. This lil knife has taken care of dressing and quartering up 3 deer now. I'd not use anything else.

Re: Your favorite blades
That is sharp in more than one way!
Re: Your favorite blades
Yep Shadow, those are both top shelf blades. That lil working knife is made of some pretty hard stuff, I bet it was sharp through at least 3/4 of the skull skinning job

Re: Your favorite blades
Thanks for all the nice post.
My friend Chuck, works with all kinds of fancy rock. Beautiful rocks he calls Mook, and Agate, that come in an assortment of mixed colors or solids. Obviously he works with others like obsidians, flints, bloodstones, and I think he even mentioned jasper but don't quote me on that....I know little to nothing about it and am only trying to go on memory. He and his mentor have a rock business, and saw slabs of it to sell all over the U.S. They also obviously make tools, heads, and blades with some of it too. They are both incredible knappers.
