Competition 3 Discussion
I've got an idea for a contest a little different from the previous I'd liketo throw out there. We've all seen the Otzi knife post https://uk-knapping.forumotion.co.uk/t180-oetzi-s-flint-knife how about an Otzi knife making contest, where we all make a similar knife. Doesn't have to be an exact replica, we can be as creative as we like. All it would take is a bit of forest wood and maybe something to tie it with, so not expensive. If anyone doesn't feel they can make the blade I can easily send them one, this will give a chance for everyone to participate and own a knife, even if they can't knap.
So what do you think?

I've got a few chunks of obsidian, it's nowhere near as tough as flint, much easier to knap. I'll try and dig some out and chuck that in the mix.

Super cool idea...
I'm happy to give it a go but could do with some help with the blade please.
My skills are still in the catagory of 'ham-handed' at the moment .
Cheers
