Great Basin Replica Knife
$75.00This obsidian knife is a museum-quality copy of prehistoric knives that have been found in Great Basin caves, one of which was found in a rockshelter in north-central Oregon near the Umpqua River. Identical knives (from the Basketmaker culture) were also used in the Four Corners regions of the Southwestern desert approx 1000 year ago. This knife has a black obsidian blade set into a handle of desert juniper. A hole is drilled in the center of the handle and through the hole is a cord made of hand twisted poplar bark that’s been tied to create a loop. This allows your hand to slip through the loop and the knife dangles from your wrist like a bracelet. This ingenious design keeps the knife ready for use…with a quick flip of the wrist the knife is instantly in your palm where the knife is grasped for use. It also prevents the knife from being dropped and breaking the fragile blade. This is a fully functional knife that is unmatched for skinning large game like deer and elk. 7 1/4-inches total length.

Northern Paiute Replica Knife (NEW!)
$75.00This replica Northern Paiute knife copies authentic prehistoric knives found in caves and rockshelters in the high deserts of the Great Basin of the western U.S. This knife has a blade of opaque black obsidian set into a handle of western juniper. It’s set in place with epoxy that’s been colored to look like the black pine pitch glue that firmly held the authentic knives of the Northern Paiute. Now, I could have set the blade in with real pitch glue and it’s usually not a problem, but let’s say the postman delivered the knife to your front door and it sat in the hot sun for several hours, the blade could heat up enough that it would soften the pine pitch and the blade could, possibly fall out. I’ve never had that issue, but it happened to a friend of mine, so I decided to use black colored epoxy to secure the blade just to be safe. So here you go…a perfectly functional obsidian knife that’s right out of the prehistoric past. This knife is perfect for skinning large game like deer and elk.

Stone Skinning Knife (NEW!)
$40.00This simple but effective stone skinning knife has a short, rounded blade of dacite that’s ergonomically designed to capitalize on the natural pivot of your wrist to maximize the knife’s effectiveness. The handle is made from a piece of crepe myrtle, a dense and durable white wood.
When using this knife, your initial incisions will need to be made with a sharp steel knife (these would have been made with razor sharp stone flakes in prehistory). Once those incisions are made, that’s where this hafted stone knife comes in. The sharp, serrated edge is ideal for separating the connective tissue between the skin and carcass of the animal. But it’s not so sharp that it will slice the skin, making it the fastest and most efficient way to skin a medium or large sized animal while maintaining the integrity of the the hide. The rounded blade shape works perfectly with the natural pivot of your wrist to maximize the cutting ability of the knife. Free shipping.
