That’s cool
Ingenious.
Awesome.
How did they shuck oysters back in the times before metal? I think flint would break.
You know the person who had lost this by the lake was probably heartbroken… That is a work of art and was surely a prized possession. 😢I imagine the handle would have been wrapped with soft leather to give it a better grip and perhaps it even had some special decoration on it…
