What do you mean stop at steel?
Search for Tai Goo, Tim Lively and Wayne Goddard. Primitive knifemaking is another good term to search.
<a href="http://www.aescustomknives.com/>Ariel http://www.aescustomknives.com/>Ariel Salaverria</a> doesn't do primitive as far as I know, but he does have some tutorials for making some things that most makers buy/outsource. Tutorials for resin impermeated handle materials, like denim micarta.
This cool post showed up when I Googled "primitive knifemaking" <a href="http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/topic/40386#.TfYp7UfW5oE>http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/topic/40386#.TfYp7UfW5oE</a> http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/topic/40386#.TfYp7UfW5oE...;
If you (or anyone else, for that matter) is interested in talking about this stuff, shoot me an email (it's in my profile).
- kragen 15y agoThank you! By "stop at steel", I meant to ask how far their bootstrapping went — did they bootstrap from stone-age materials to just, say, pre-medieval steel metallurgy? Or did they go on ahead to technologies like organic polymers, machine tools, bicycles, internal-combustion engines, vacuum tubes, semiconductors, digital computers, and heavier-than-air flying machines? I wonder if Ariel Salaverria sells his work at handicrafts markets here locally. Maybe I could go apprentice with him :) In your second link, I think the fragment ID is broken; did you mean the whole thread at http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/topic/40386 http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/topic/40386 ? Or a particular post in it?
