Description

Graver with an iron blade set into a handle made from antler or bone. The handle consists of two pieces of antler or bone with matching grooves at one end that hold the blade. Parts of the handle pieces have been cut away near the blade, leaving a slight step at that end. One of the handle pieces has a similar step at the opposite end; the other part of the handle has been sharpened to a point at that end. The two parts of the handle are held together with a hide thong wrapping.
