Looking for trades. I need saltwater fishing gear. Since we can no longer work out deals here, please email me at johnpeaspanen@yahoo.com if interested. Thanks.I decided to make something new last week. I liked the idea of having a Stone Age-style knife but wanted to have it as a boot or belt knife. Not wanting to make a modern sheath or use any metal, I had to get creative. For the knife, I abo-knapped basalt and hafted the resulting blade to a moose antler tine. I used resin glue and deer sinew to marry the two pieces. For the sheath, I covered vegetable tan leather with rawhide and laced it with waxed linen cord. For the clip, I sawed and filed out a piece of moose antler palm. This was then glued and sewn to the sheath. It worked out beautifully. The final touch was painting the sheath. I chose to replicate images from Lascaux Cave in France. I painted with a mixture of pigment and hide. Hope everyone likes it. John

Thanks. It was a lot of fun to make. Of course, I am always open to trading for currency. ;D

Some countries do. It is a moot point now though. I found a trade for some gear. Thanks.
