A Blade of Agate Proportions

Photo by : *DonSimpson
Brazilian Agate Blade by : *DanielAPierce


Lets see back when I was in the Year 2012 & In San Francisco California USA I made a little post about me being there with my mommy-o sellin the sweet goods under "Arrowheads & Designs" and as I was making something I looked up an seen an older man, an immediately he looked familiar. But I kept chippin, lots of people coming in an out at times. I seen a little card in front of me "Don Simpson" it read & said "thought that was you"

An from there we had a few words, looked at a few things, took about 2 sweet pics, but I was pretty touched that any of my DA homies would come out to see me. So that was pretty baller. So in return I had to give him some levels of awesomeness for coming out to the show. So off went this Brazilian Agate Blade & Maybe 2 other things I wanna say.

It took around maybe 2 hours to complete this knife. But as I was finished I couldn't figure out anything to do with it so I left it. But anyway Agate is one of the Harder Materials to work with. As I started no flakes were going at all. They just weren't flying. So I had to switch over from a hand held pressure flaker to the Ishi-Stick & push really really hard then they were goin. The edge work is really what takes so long.
