I bet this guy watches nothing but Steven Seagal movies.

I posted a comment about making your gear from raw materials. It wouldn’t be proper if I didn’t back that up with something I made from scratch.

This is my knife that I made from some shit I bought at home depot, some silver and stones (and mastodon ivory) I got from my ancient jewelry design class teacher.

It’s not pro, but I think it’s decent for a first try and making something by hand is one of the best feelings I’ve experienced, I had a bunch of metal, wood and rocks, I turned it into something nobody else on the planet has. Try it out.

You just don’t fuck with falcons.

Primitive knife knapped from fiber glass

Knapping is the art and tech of creating a knife or axe or some other pointy object by chipping away at some hard and brittle substance such as flint to create a sharp edge. It’s how your great-great-times 10-grandfather the cavemen created arrowheads and shit to kill dinosaurs. Mike Cook of Portland, Michigan is a master knapper with a k, unlike myself who is a master napper with an n and he created this knife using primitive techniques with fiber optic glass. Via
