A clip point camp knife, hacked from a beef leg bone, hafted with poplar and pine pitch glue and wrapped with sinew, good little camp knife, it already has been blooded, got a nice slash across my left thumb for not respecting the material.....
Made a nice spear point as well....this was actually gonna be a knife blade about 8 inches long, but I used too much pressure in the vice and snapped the bone, therefore I made a campknife and a spear point from the same material!
Made me some Atl Atl's and darts as well, along with some blowguns....
I need a chance to field test the Atl Atl's, kinda hard to do in a basement with 7 foot ceilings... I been having a lot of fun firing the blowguns tho!!!!!!! They are surprisingly powerful and accurate
the first blowgun is a takedown version for my backpack....not that great, I think the 3/4" pipe is too large a bore for a heavy smoker to turn into an effective weapon, the 6 foot 1/2" copper pipe is the best ....very powerful and accurate.....the third blowgun is carved from a piece of poplar, decent little gun, looks great, but lacking the power of the copper pipe, I'm gonna make some new darts for it using paper cones instead of the cotton batting, I think that will improve its performance...
Detail of the carved gun....
and last but not least, another batch of pine pitch glue along with more pine pitch ready to be melted down...
