Very nice!
In Italy, ancients used boar's jawbone to handle knives!

Ehy, just noticed the points! Have you levigated them?

Absolutely awesome  :)

thanks guys. i took a very fine sanding block and did some polishing on them. mostly there pretty smooth

the coolest  ;)

thanks man! they actualy feel pretty deadly. i didnt think they would have weighed so much

oh, they're heavy alright. i have a few but they are a little grungy (missing teeth and such). but, the bone itself is very dense.

Are they actually sturdy enough to be effective??

Yes, I confirm they are.
Notice that it's one of the rarest bone to survive for thousand of years; it's one of the sturdiest part of an animal's body  ;)

I mean, they may lose a tooth or two with very hard hits, but they'll break off very rarely, especially if used properly (right direction I mean).

Absolutely gnarly.. very cool.  Nice work, aztec!

Planning on taking on an army of Philistines any time soon?

Very nice Aztec. Where do you get a buffalo jaw bone anyway?






Yeah, that story about the guy who killed the Philistines with an ass's jawbone never made much sense to me until I actually saw the size of one.

I think it was Samson who killed all those people with a donkey jawbone.

In the first episode of Deadliest Warrior, the Apache guy used a tomahawk made with the jawbone of a horse. The ballistic gel head pretty much exploded with the hit.

Amazing piece Aztec, keep them coming.

They look great aztec did you have to bleach them to get them that white.

hey thanks all:)

i got them in  a trade and they were that white when i got them. i just did some polishing.

I actually say a saw (for wood) made from a deer jawbone before, and he said that PPG  on the connection between the teeth and the jaw would make it sturdier but on a club it would provide a really wickid serated edge and I like how you have one for each hand lol :)

We definitely need some evil philisitines lol 8-)

Now that you mention it, ditto.
