My luck is all used up so I present myself as the loyal photographer of my companions finds. This is a really nice Fort Ancient knife ole' Chuckster spotted on the river bank. I have a bone to pick with Chuck on the material though. I think it's St. Louis Green chert. I would like to get a few opinions.

Nice one, Charlie! I'll bet some people are saying maybe it's Carter Cave or it could be river-patinated hornstone... but lostlake88 nailed it, in my opinion- classic St. Louis Green.

Was it found in eastern Ky.? It looks like Carter or even possibly Boyles to me. Regardless of material that is a fine shouldered knife. Nice one Chuck.
 
Nice find Chuckie!!!!!!!!
Let me add my hat in the ring. I think it is Breathitt Chert. Breathitt can look like St. Louis, but it is grainier and shows the hinges.
If you show me in person, I would know for sure.

Lostlake,
Next time you ask for someone's opinion about a piece just say "looking for all opinions that agree with mine, or face my drunken rath". That would clarify things for us.
Thanks,
Jon.
 
Nice find Chuck. Pretty cool little knife and I like the resharpening. Congrats bud.

Hippy
 
In my opinion it is not Carter, Breathitt, or St. Louis. If it was not sooo stinking roasting I would be out trying to find another.

Chuck
