This past April, I went hunting Rio gobblers in Texas. Had a great trip and took two good birds.........one slammer. But I also found a couple whitetail sheds..........and flint rocks were EVERYWHERE. There was no plan. I just brought the sheds and some flint rock home. Then a buddy told me of a fellow that lives just over a couple hills from me. An artisan. A flint knapper. Long story short, I paid him a visit and he agreed to try working the stone I brought home. A couple months later I picked up the COOLEST souvenir I ever ended up with from any trip I've ever taken. ![[Linked Image]](http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w14/strut10/flint%20knife_zpspwp69qkj.jpg)

Thanks for all the kind words, fellers.
Now I just have to find a proper way to display it. Thinking a nice, deeply recessed oak frame of some sort.........or an oak stand.

Display it AFTER you use it to gut a righteously killed critter.
