Been working on an order and a few extras to have on hand for fathers day! I don't get to knap as often as I'd like because of work and my kid, but when I do I'm happy with the results. Enjoy!

Beautiful work.
One of these days I'll dedicate time to getting better at knapping.
Blades like yours are an inspiration.

Really nice. I'm impressed. Very nice work.

Kudos

Very nice work I don't have the patience to do that . What's the price of one of your mahogany obsidian knives like the one in the second picture ?

Very nice work, be cool to make a blade out of an agate slice. If I only knew how to knap.

Well that's the coolest thing I will see all day.

Nuh uhh, you found those in a field!

Thank you folks.

Allan Minear I charge based on the material, quality of the knapped piece, size of the blade, and handle (some are composite with antler and hardwood or exotic wood). Typically, $65-80 for the smaller knifes in pic 7-9, $90-110 for the blades in 5-6, $125 for blades 1-4 That blade in the 2nd pic was sold this morning.


Flipper, I've knapped agate and don't like it! that stuff is tough. I am not a fan of knapping obsidian because it is so sharp, but it sells the best.

Excellent flaking.....great job. Have you ever played around with heat treating to get into different materials? Thanks.

I heat treat a lot of Burlington, Kaolin, mill creek, Keokuk, and some flint ridge. The pic below is 4 types of Burlington, all heated. It makes it more colorful and easier to knap.

Beautiful work, pintail.

Impressive.

Them are very pretty and really neat..

Very nice work!

Pintail, the knives are real nice but the Snyder's are outstanding, I'm not crazy about knapping the obsidian myself but people sure like the glassy stuff. I,m sure missing all the local knappins that have been cancelled. Bob

I wish i had the eye hand coordination to do that . I tried and had a good teacher but i just cant keep my lines straight . I am always impressed by those who can

What kind of preforms are you starting with? Sawed blanks?

Sure wish I had that type of skill! Beautiful work.

Those are some interesting pieces of art you have created. I really like all of them .Some one like myself that has a illness for collecting knives should not be allowed to look at those kinds of pictures But since you showed them THANKS

Beautiful. You sir are talented
