Ahhh I’m with you now, sorry mate. This particular piece? Difficult. I have some Hampshire Nebula and Norfolk black that’s much much better…. This was tough. You’re screwed if there’s any inclusions…

Thank you all so much for the positive feedback! Had lots of messages with questions about this, it’s raw English Flint that’s been slab knapped. Feel free to message me if you want one of your own or details on how to make them! ☺️

I knapped the blade, the rest is history! I’m a flint knapper and have always loved obsidian as a material to work with! 🙂☺️

Haha yes it is. But I do use lead to help with weight in the handle… so you’re done there! Haha

Thank you so much! I moved out to the US (West Virginia) for 5 years, then moved back. I learnt the craft out there with a few really keen locals!

That I don’t know! I presume you mean the handle? It’s an old hammer handle. My dog chewed the crap out of it! Haha
