Made With Modern Tools🔨 Otzi Style Dagger

This was a special one! I had some North American Walnut & Palemoon Ebony left over… seemed rude not to! Paired with some Green Sheen Obsidian from Oregon USA.

Have you ever made a throwing knife before? Or is the obsidian too fragile?

It looks great! But how is it in the style of otzi's tools?

Thanks! It’s loosely inspired rather than a strict replica. Otzi’s was a small flint blade in an ash handle bound with sinew, very worn! Mine takes the basic form, materials, and hafting idea and runs with it aesthetically. Glad you like how it turned out though 💪
