I have a similar blade that Jesse gave me in the front row of my show case. It is more tapered but Jesse quality throughout! He will be missed in the pit for sure, but his legacy of helping others there will give all the knappers something to talk about. It always amazed me how he could just seem to feel where to hit next and a big ole flake would fall off. Those flakes made for many points for the rest of us! If he has to be somewhere else at least he should have all the obsidian he can handle. A/Ho Joe
