Well... The material, perdernales, (has many variation names), is from Texas as i can see you are from, so thats a good sign thats it is ancient. It does look crude, and irregular as to any particular type, especially on the blade tip/edge. Maybe an ancient piece and tampered with a little? Maybe about 10/20 bucks if modern or 'fixed' up recently, (and depending on buyer) if ancient, maybe 50 bucks since its about 5"... Better flake scars and closer resembling a listed type would have it higher, but simples knives like these are common and never demand too much money at shows unless there is fine craftsmanship... Thats my 3 cents for ya
 
No question about what it is, or what it was used for, or what culture it might have been associated with, just what the value is, and by that I guess you mean how much money you could get out of it?
 
I would call it a Dagger rather than a knife.
 
I've never seen that style before:icon_scratch:It looks cool.
