| This knife is one of my favorite pieces, eventhough it
is not a replica. When I hold the knife, the handle is very comfortable
and the knife has good balance. I designed this to be a skinning
knife. The blade was made from a piece of raw (not heat-treated)
Danish flint. If you look closely at the picture, you will see that
this piece of flint comtains many fossil (i.e. the black spots, the bluish-gray
areas and the white spots). Some of these fossils created problems
(step fractures usually) when I knapped the flint. The handle was
made from the third tine on the palm portion of a moose antler.
Total Length: 22.5 cm (8.86 in). Blade Length: 10.68 cm (4.20 in); Blade Width: 4.89 cm (1.93 in); Blade Thickness: 0.82 cm (0.32 in). Handle Length: 11.3 cm (4.45 in); Handle Width (Middle): 2.3 cm (0.91 in); Handle Thickness: 2.15 cm (0.85 in). |
