 That's sweet, Bob. I like the way that rock chips. I wish I had gotten some more.

Very nice knife and knapping Bob. I think you should dull the edge on a nice PA whitetail  this fall ;)

Good looking knife, Bob! That Dover knaps great if you get a good piece. I saw a cracker-thin, 18" long Mississippian dance sword made from that stuff in a museum in TN. I was drooling on the floor.

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!
