Hey All...This is an Knapped obsidian knife ,set in elk antler...Brian (wyobrian) made the blade an then I took it from there...Took the torch to the antler to darken it....I made the stand for it from a piece of pet wood I found a few weeks ago , and an antler I had laying around...I used epoxy putty to secure the antler to the wood...Enjoy!!!!

Added Bonus ...I had sent him some fiber optic quartz and he made this point...

Thanks for looking.....John

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
