Here is a small group of obsidian knives I made for a dutch guy. Three of the hafts are White Tail deer, and the other two are the base and tip of a South African Spring Bok horn Woody  This is what the haft butts look like.  |

Very nice job, I like the little details on the butts.
Cool!

Those are exceptionally nice.
Love the print at the end of the shafts!
My favorite is the one with the black curved horn at the bottom of the photo.

Those are fantastc Woody! I like the black horn in contrast to the usual deer antler mounts. The butt end carvings are unique also. Great Job!!

BEAUTIFUL!
Is that paw a sort of logo, or just an accent? Great idea and beautifully done anyway.
That upper knife with springbox horn is my favorite, too, together with the one just below.

PS. Shipping those fragile things in Holland is quite a chalange!

Those are AWSOME too Woody! I had no idea so many people were making flint knives! Really love the detail in the back of the handle. What is that stuff? Some kind of rock resin??

I forgot, to mention the paw prints. They are cut into the antler with a flex shaft burr, then filled with turquoise chips mixed with epoxy.. then sanded, and polished.

Beautiful knives Woody. Thanks for clarification on the paw prints, I was going to ask. I'm glad I read all the comments before posting.
