Is it worked on both sides or flat on the other side?

May I ask why you call this a blank? I find these rather frequently, and I still get a thrill out of picking them up. I call these a variety of names. Preform, blade, chopper, big scraper... I've never heard these referred to as a blank. Nice find!!

Thanks, I have always heard preform s called blanks and I use the two words interchangeably. I was very happy to have picked it up.

From the looks I would lean more towards calling it a blade myself. Looks like the edges are worked pretty well all around, and appears rather symmetrical. I always figured blanks and preforms were much more rough around the edges and not quite so thin. No matter what you call it, awesome find thanks for sharing

Thanks, it is worked to a nice edge and is thin for its size.
