Description
I made this a while ago. It is half of a deer leg bone. The edge was ground down on a flat peice of sandstone using plenty of water to keep the bone dust out of the sandstone. This picture is of both sides of the same knife.A bone knife will cut meat and such but will not cut skin. It can peirce it but it can't cut it.

I find this knife a little interesting. I saw many exotic bone knives with great craftmanships and such. with decorations and symbols. But this one is pure and yet simple. I'm just drawn to it becauase I'm more of using than for show. Great bone knife by the way.

Comes to a question. Would you try serrating any bone knife by any chance?

I may on the next one to see wether that would work well or not.

Well it could be a possibility when serratting could cut skin or not. Basically a suggestion.

Iām curious I want to do something similar. So how did you treat it, like to close out the pours so it wont deteriorate. It is beautiful it almost looks a bit like wood. Iām sorry one last question would a bone of a young cow work? (same size if not bigger than a deer)

Well this bone was boiled w a very little amount of bleach in the watter then when I cut it up I scraped out all of the marrow. No other treatment necisarry. You will have more trouble keeping it from braking in use becuase of the tendancy to use it like a steel knife. No prying or hacking with this knife lol. I have never had problems with any of my bones deteriating at all. Worry more about snapping it in half

Thank you so much. I want to use it as a prop though but I will be careful thanks.

looking good but you can get bone sharp enough to cut skin if you keep trying also if you use older drier bone it helps. great job

indeed but I really don't need one that does. I have stone blades for that.

Well when it comes down to having to skinn something I am more likely going to be able to find a stone I can make sharp then the right kind of stone and a good bone for making a bone knife. Although I will have to try and make one sharp enough to cut skin with just to have that knowledge that is if I ever have time for such experiments. lol
