what are these made from?  odsidian?  a goal for me this year is to try and hunt with and kill a deer with a knapped head.  what would it take for me to get one?

Those look really nice Jim. My son is wanting to get into knaping and I can not wait until he can make some up for me.

Those are soooooo sweet! Knapping is on my short list of new skills to master. I hope to get to it over the winter. If I could do near as good as those I'd be a happy knapper!   :notworthy:

Are those for shooting or just for looking through?

razorsharptokill

Thank you all. Yes, the arrowheads are Obsidian and the knife blade is Keokuk. Ha!Shbne reminds me of Chief Dan George in Outlaw Josey Wales. I'll likely mount all these on Rivercane shafts for this deer season.

Your ability to knap beautiful heads is matched by your finely tuned sense of humor.    :D  


Can I ask you guys how you practice with these heads?  

You have to use a sandpile I'm guessing, and I would think you have to sacrifice a certain number of heads just for practice.

How hard is it to get them within 100grns of each other?

razorsharptokill

Not too hard to get them within 100 grains but 10 grains is a different story.

I use a piece of soft foam that some of our bomb fins come in. Before hunting a run some small flakes on each edge to sharpen them up.

Jim, you know those points remind me of a coral snake ... at the same time both beautiful and deadly. Great job knapping, that knife/spear blade is really thin! What is keokuk? Where is it from? Is it like that alibates banded flint from up Amarillo way?      :clapper:
