glatt · 11-22-2011, 02:55 PM

Big Sarge · 11-22-2011, 03:45 PM

3F - I sent you a second PM. Check it out & let me know

Big Sarge · 11-23-2011, 11:41 AM

Here's a couple of knives my daughters & I made. They're knapped but not paleo. They are styled in the 1700-1820 period. Sorry about the pics, but I use my phone and my tremors make the photos blurry.

Very cool.

One of the most devastating offensive styles I've seen on that show Deadliest Warriors was the Apache with his stone knives. He would have gone farther in the tournament, but having basically no armor ended that.

glatt · 11-23-2011, 11:59 AM

Wow, that's nice work!

BigV · 11-23-2011, 12:24 PM

very very nice Sarge!! thanks for showing those beautiful knives.

Big Sarge · 11-23-2011, 05:58 PM

I do it as a form of therapy to help with my hands & to relieve stress. I'd really love to go paleo like 3F, but it is far more difficult

Sarge, you inspired me and I went out to the recycling bin, fished out an old wine bottle and used an old carriage bolt to make this:

I've no idea how to thin it, much less sharpen it. But I expect I will by the end of the week.

infinite monkey · 11-23-2011, 06:59 PM

Neato!

Big Sarge · 11-26-2011, 04:04 AM

glatt · 11-26-2011, 07:04 AM

Aw shit. Now I'm going to have to try that.

Looks good Foot!

Thanks. I worked on it a bit more last night and it got smaller but not thinner or sharper.
I expect I'll have it down to a tiny nubbin shortly.

Honest to FSM Glatt I woke up this morning thinking you must have been busy with Thanksgiving or otherwise you would have either a) shown us the points you'd made or b) decide you would try your hand at it.

I'll find a link to a few helpful youtube vids and put them up. I can't wait to see what you make.

Big Sarge · 11-26-2011, 04:37 PM

Post some pics of your bow & arrow shafts if you can. I would never even consider attempting to do what you have already accomplished.

I can rough out chert, work antler or bone, or handle pitch & sinew. Bryanna does the detail work on knapping. Elizabeth does the dying/painting with hide glue & natural pigments

BTW, we do make soap from buffalo fat & lye. Plus we do some work with hides. We're trying to make a batch of pine tar soap next
