This is a simple and practical primitive toll based off a 2,700 year old artifact found near the Hoko River in western washington, thus the name "Hoko Knife".
Sharp stone flakes are quite useful naked, but adding a handle can increase, leverage, dexterity, and over-all usability. Just take a stone flake, and place it between a split twig or small stick, lash it into place using whatever cordage is available.
The construction is very basic, but effective. Using a small sapling or twig, a stone flake is lashed in place to increase the leaverage and usability of the already formidable basic flake. The blasdes are usually the by-products of flakes chipped off during flintknapping in the attempts of making a larger or more fashioned piece.

2). When pulling apart and it begins to go askew, pry more on the thicker side to even out the split.
3). Set your blade in between the two halfs of your handle to sight where to end your lashing. Be sure to leave enough space at the handle top for lashing as well.
