  • Large Root Beer

    The blade is seven inches long and has a lenticular cross section. I do like big blades but I have to be content to spend more time on a blade like this. This one took two hours.

      "It appears to have been knapped from a very primitive group of people. It was probably used to de-bone cockatoos, and served as a stellar toothpick. It was made during the moronic period about two thousand years ago."

    I can attest to their effectiveness as well, the blade you sent me like that one worked waaayyyy better than a metal knife does for butchering a deer..... hopefully I’ll have a video soon to share

      Hey Rodney, I have a slab saw and two trim saws. About a quarter of my pieces are from slabs and three quarters are from spalls.

    Ron - Another Excellent blade. Love the uniformity of the knaping and pressure flaking. Do the lighter colored places cause you concern when knaping? Are they softer or offer a weaker point?

      Thanks Chuck, The white in this stone is good chert. On the outside was chalk that had to be removed.
