Georgetown Blade

[Ron Kelley]

Georgetown is one of the best Texas cherts if you get the high grade. There is a wide span of quality in the Georgetown chert. I have found the darker chert to flake the best.

That's a real nice blade! I haven't knapped to much Georgetown, but I love the looks of it when it's finished.

Nice blade Ron will look good in case with others

Ron,i agree
georgetown is some of the best material and that the darker the better

have you ever had a chance to work the black georgetown yet?

i had been given a nodule from one of my flint knapping buddies that lives in Texas
that stuff is just incredible to work
seems like the flakes just want to come off and it is very predictable

i made a Caddo style blade from it and gifted it back to him

Thanks Tim, I would love to knap the black but have not had the opportunity.

Ron that pressure flaking (assuming it was) it just awesome...it looks like it would slice ya wide open. What geographical area in the USA do you think the most preferable lithic for knapping comes/came from? Is their a particular region that just had a wealth of resources available compared to others ? Killer work Yooper...

Thanks Frank, Central Texas has loads of great cherts. The Indiana and Georgia Hornstone is great too. That KRF in the Dakotas is hard to beat.
