I just hope I didn't use up my luck on this....Oh well if I did it's worth it! lol

You can't tell in the In Situ pic but to the right about 1' or so from the knife is the edge of the river . If the river had gone up it would have been gone! Makes you wonder how many have been "lost"!


Once again Thanks 4 all of your comments,

Nice knife Phil and I like the in situs.

The material is a Kansas Flint Hills Permian chert. The great color is due to heat treating the chert.
