Stone Blade Knives and Arrows

Learn the art of hafting stone blades with pitch glue and sinew. 

This course is offered by Montana Folk School in an outdoor area.

Gary will demonstrate how to make and use pine pitch glue to build a stone bladed knife or spear using techniques that have been in use for many thousands of years. The instructor will furnish a stone blade, rawhide, and either antler or wood for the handle. For the second project, Gary will teach you how to haft a stone arrowhead and fletch a wooden arrow shaft using pine pitch and sinew. 

Students will take home either a stone bladed knife or spear, and a stone tipped arrow!
