Whew is it hot in here or is it just me? All right Night staff of ARFCOm, it's boring as H.E.double tooth picks so what say you? Only interesting info need apply! Patty |
Well at my age they're called power surges! As for pictures....you post pictures of you, and I'll post pictures of me!  Patty |
Did you want to do this on ARFCOM or another venue?

Wait a sec how old are you?
Humm...I can handle gun dogs pretty easily, hang on though I do have a gun or two manufacturered before 1935!

Old enough I guess to know better!  Patty

Here's another view that shows the carving a little better These blades are Brazilian agate. The large knife won first place in a show a few years back. I wish I could take credit, but these are made by a man that lives near Hannibal, Missouri named Tim Murphy. He makes all of his stone work with traditional tools, no metallic or other aids are used. The grips on these are all Whitetail antlers. Tim and only one other "flint knapper" whose work I've seen make stone tools that compare with the craftsmanship of originals, which we have plenty of still in the ground in Missouri. Tim also makes flint and obsidian blades and arrow points that can be used in the field and he has killed and butchered several deer with them. These agate blades are sharp, but a little fragile; the "usin'" knives are thicker. |
