Blades for those trappers too cheap to buy steel.
« on: May 22, 2013, 06:30:01 PM »
Here are some of the obsidian knives I make. Back in the day, of course most obsidian knives were stubby bladed to lessen breakage, only presentation knives had long blades. The mahogany obsidian blade with the Cholla haft is the type most used in the past.
