« Last post by Marshal Will on May 10, 2024, 06:30:17 AM »I recently got these modern made spear points. I was intending to make a neck/patch knife out of one but they're too big and bulky. I can't find any original points that look exactly like them. They still look cool tho. I've got a couple of pieces of elk antler that will make good handles. Whacha think? Any other ideas on what to do with them?Neanderthal bowie?

Hawg, The pewter is nice. Did you have to melt the pewter and make a mold or how/what did you do?
I wrapped brown paper around it and taped it down tight then poured the melted pewter in and filed it off smooth. It could use some more smoothing but if I haven't done it by now I probably won't.
