    Thanks for all the compliments. The first sgian I got was a Wilkinson and it had a spear point like this knife so when I grind I think of it, and I guess I have not gotten away from that yet. The lapis was a slate piece that I ground the bottom of conical and the mount is steel tube that I shaped to the handle. I use Devcon epoxy to hold it on and that stuff is pretty dang tough. Withstands about 1200 degrees and most of the time when I need to remove something that I glued on I have to destroy the handle to get it off.
    Here is a pic of the completed version: Thanks for looking.
