Gorgeous knives! You alsomade some very friendly handles from those antlers. My favorites are the rainbow (3 o clock first pic) and the one with a small "branch" (9 o clock).

Boy are those impressive. Try as hard as I might to get my sons interested in stones it is a no go unless it is things like this. My sons eyes widened when I showed him these pics.
What kind of rope is wrapped between blade and handle? It looks like sinew (sp?).

Lori:
The wrapping is artificial sinew. I do natural as well. I am not sure about the whereabouts of Knappins (Flint knapping gatherings) near you, but there will be some. I will have a look on another forum, and post the particulars. We (knappers) like passing on out skills. especially to the younger ones.
