Bone sgian dubh?

You wanting the whole knife made of bone? I've seen pre-contact bone knives in several museums, particularly among plains indian artifacts. I've used it for handles on a couple of knives and like it. Yes, I've toyed with the idea of making one completely out of bone.

And it's beautifully made by hand, so I prefer it to one of the cheapy plastic eb** pieces.

My browser doesn't want to let me post a pic, but if you google "raccoon jaw knife" you'll find it eventually.

Yeah, I was thinking one whole piece. Preferrably human. (Just kidding of course.) And I've seen the one with antler handles. But I was thinking haveing the whole think carved from one solid piece. Would look pretty cool.

How about these? They look pretty cool, and not too expensive, it seems.

I've made purchases from her before. Very personable, and a great lady to deal with. Website used to be a lot cooler though.
