Title: Now this is just a Plain COOL gift
Post by: Tenpoint5 on December 25, 2011, 11:25:04 PM

My little brother has a friend that was told to take up a hobby to help battle arthritis in his hands. Something to work on the fine motor skills of the hands and fingers. Well he took up knife making. Not in the sense that one would think. He took up knife making like it was done in the beginning. Rock, Bone and Rawhide/Catgut. So for Christmas my brother had given his friend some of the deer antlers that were laying around in the garage at Mom's house and had some knives made for each of the guys in the family. Here are mine.

Those are some art Chris! I have a few knives I have collected trhu the years - but those flint ( or is that obsidian?) blades are fantastic

Great gift, Chris!  Not something you see everyday.
