My husband is a flint knapper. He has taught himself the art of flint knapping and uses traditional methods. He makes arrowheads, and is now making little mini knives.
The knives are made with either a deer antler tip or coyote tooth or foot bone for the handle and the blades are made from various materials - Obsidian, Agate, Jasper, Knife River Flint, etc.
They can be as a display piece, or some can be made into jewelry as pendants. They measure from about 1 1/4" to 2".
You can check them out at his website Desertknapper with Etsy here.
Here is a sampling of some of the little knives you will find there:
