Handcrafted Mahogany Obsidian Knife with Deer Antler Handle – 8.5\"
This is a beautiful, modern handcrafted primitive knife featuring a pressure-flaked blade knapped from mahogany obsidian—characterized by its distinct reddish-brown and black volcanic glass banding. The blade is hafted into a natural deer antler tine handle and secured with tightly wrapped sinew-style cordage.
Total Length:Approx. 8 1/2 inches
Total Weight:3 oz
Blade Finish:Knapped / Hand-flaked obsidian showing rich mahogany streak accents
Condition & Flaws:
Blade Tip & Edges:Micro-chipping is natural and inherent to hand-knapped glass blades. The tip and edges show natural irregular flakes from the knapping process; please inspect photos closely.
Hafting Alignment:The blade is set with a slight offset, leaving an exposed notch/wedge area near the bolster wrap.
Surface/Handle:The antler shows natural texture, weathered grooves, and minor handling wear, but remains sturdy with no major cracks.
Functionality:Sold primarily as a decorative piece, collector\'s item, display knife, or ceremonial athame/altar tool.
Extreme care should be taken when handling—obsidian edges can be razor sharp.
Please view all photos for full detail on texture, color variation, and craftsmanship.
