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.
