I made a mahogany obsidian knife preform last year. I finished up notching and sharpening it this past weekend and here's a couple photos. Rick B

That's a bigg'un. I know nothing about knapping but it sure looks good to me! Beautiful piece of obsidian too.

Like the shape and how it is notched. The stone is beautiful.

Very nice! They find those here around the ranch and they are the holy grail for local artifact hunters. I've never even found a broken one myself but the neighboring rancher has a beauty made of local flint. Yours is much prettier though. That mahogany obsidian makes an attractive blade....Mel

That mahogany obsidian makes an attractive blade....Mel Thanks Mel and all for the comments. These are rare as I've never found one or a part of one either. Figured that if I wanted one, I'd have to make one. I'm just starting to get back into the swing of things since having back surgery in January and I'm going to make one or two more if I can keep from breaking them. Rick B
