Any thoughts on this...

1 7/8 by 1 3/8 Stewart County Georgia field find. Too be honest I don't remember if I have posted this here before. Any thoughts on type? The base is slightly ground if that makes any sense.

Thanks T.C. I've never heard of that type before until now. Definitely not found in my areas but cool to read up on it.

May have strated out as something else and after it broke was refurbished into that little knife. Lots more knowledgeable people than me will help out soon.

I think I love it, no I’m sure, whatever it is.

 

[dognose]

to me, it looks like an exhausted dalton point.


It appears to have hafting shoulders, and not sure but from the shadows, looks to be somewhat beveled.

My first thought was Dalton, too.

 

[Tdog]

I agree w/exhausted Dalton.

Thanks dog,, It is slightly beveled

Thanks Tdog, after doing some research I agree. It's cool to find out things you have that you didn't know you have.

Thanks for checking it out Fat

Thanks Newnan, it's definitely a well used unique find.

Over the years, I've noticed that many Daltons (and others too) appear to have been resharpened while still hafted. dognose's observation in post #6 (that the base has not been rechipped) further lends credibility to this.

Nice! I like it a lot!

Dog's observation is what made me do some reading up on Daltons. Definitely appreciate the details in his response.

FWIW, another possibility would be an exhausted Haw River Blade.

You don't see that semicircular base indentation on that many Daltons, but you do on Haws and their contemporaries. There was a great couple of threads on them with many examples on A'ology. Sadly gone now.

Here's all I got on it...

Another type I've never heard of until now; thanks uniface.
