Knife blade for a friend

Good looking blade. I didn't know basalt could be so glassy like that, very cool.

Thank you cowboy, tower and Tracy. This basalt they call black butter and it is very smooth, works somewhere between obsidian and stone. I really like the way it works. It tends to like a pretty beefy platform, kinda reminds me of novaculite in that respect. I really like the way flake scars show up on it, it just seems to look old the instant it's made, if that makes sense. Lol

Frank, from what I understand it comes from Oregon. Not sure exactly where, got this from a friend. Thanks to all for the kind words.
