saw this on another site I goto and wanted to share it. It looks nice and simple to make... I'm going to try and make one tomorrow, when I get back from the Doc's

I you do plan on actually wearing it than get a sheath that locks the knife into it and can't be cut through.(use a liner). I can just imagine falling down or getting tangled in something and having that blade popping out of the sheath the way it is. Good luck with your project.

[mysticguido]

So Griz what do you think of my first neck knife? I want to make a knapped stone knife next.

kool I'll try it.. I have a smokepole T/C Renegade .54cal sidelock and one of these days I'll get a flintlock, I also would like to have a muzzleloader shotgun too. I made a small bag out of a rabbit to carry some stuff when I Powder hunt.

That looks pretty cool Mystic..I have a ton of antlers how did you do it..

 

[mysticguido]

I have a old antler set that broke so I used one side of the rack. I took a magnus II 2-blade (A.K.A. Nugnet blade) and hot melted it to the tine. first off I stuck the point into the bh and used a pencil to make it, to see how deep. Then I took a file and filed it down so I had about 1 3/4" to 2" in the BH. then heated it up (BH, hotmelt, and antler) and stuck then together. DONE...

I like the idea of a flint nap knife.

I'll try and bring some flint back from the Hill Country.

With all the flint down there I should buy a flintlock!

 

[mysticguido]

true you could even try a knap out some arrow heads too. Let me know if you get any please.

 

[pla930]

Sure - I'll pack a few chunks in my case.
