badass hoko! Wink

Of all the primitive weapons that you make I find these knives the most beautiful. They're more art than tools.

I gotta ask, if you were making a glass/stone/bone knife to actually use as a primitive utility knife how would you shape the blade? I was thinking your basketmakers look like some pretty handy little knives.

I'm too lazy to go back and read all 13 pages. How do you make the bone blades. They don't appear to be knapped. How do they compare to the stone blades like obsidian in sharpness and durability? Until I saw these I never considered making a knife from bone could be viable.
