Kinfe River Flint Blades

This is a decent example of the blades from up here in the north country. From North and South Dakota again. I have sold a few out of here. The harahey bottom center is one of my faves.

Seems like they really liked their knifes and scrapers in your area. Heck I like them too.

That's a great looking frame of knives. Did you find all of them?

Very nice group, thanks for the look. I really like the longest blade in the group of four bottom right. Light tan Krf patina to the frosty blue.

LOL, no, I didn't find those. I have acquired them. I am in the wrong part of the state to find stuff like that, and I never sell anything I do find.

Thank you sir. You sure know how to pick them I see. The tan portion is inclusion. The frosty blue hue really is hard to beat. It's my favorite stage of patination on the flint.The round white one top center is what it eventually turns to. White.

Funny those were exactly the ones I was looking at. I like the one starting in to out with the needle tip and the third one in as well. Interesting type. Nice frame......

Great collection of knife artifacts!! I need to get back to that Missouri river for a camping trip. Really nice place for a summer vacation. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, it is a beautiful area. Just know that it isn't legal to pick stuff up there anymore. A lot of the sites have been rip-rapped with big boulders also.
