Title: north ,south, modern dalton
Post by: jamie on July 04, 2011, 10:41:28 am

piece of knife river i got from steve parker years ago, attempt at a hell gap. piece of coral i heated up. too many florida points look like this so i dont know what its called. toilet tank dalton. had to replace a toilet for a customer, very old tank so the material was decent, especially for johnstone.

Great looking points man! I like the knife river and coral very well, but the last point is kinda crappy(LOL) >:D Sorry, it was wide open. It has real cool flake scars and would not want it heading in my immediate direction. Good job!

thanks trcy. a friend of mine from Oregon who makes me look calm when it comes to environment, food, and politics asked me to make him a knife. nothing represents 'modern primitive' like johnstone. now i just gotta find the proper handle material and i'll haft it up. peace

 That coral point would be a Newnan. The difference in Newnans, Marions, and Hillsboroughs is the base. Newnans are flat across the bottom, Marions are rounded and Hillsboroughs are short and triangle. Nice point and pretty coral, Jamie. Like that Hellgap a lot, too.

 Do a search for petrified alligator turds, we find them occasionally when we are diving the river.
