I thought that Larson was his real name. I was talking to him on the phone, calling him Mr. Larson. Lol! He told me about the guitars, and I studied up on them. Hand made by 2 brothers! Cool name huh!

Great find there! And again- an assortment the likes of which I just can't match here in the east. That square knife intrigues me- I've found 1/2 a (knife?) but with little comb-like notches around the (unbroken) edges. It's poilshed. Gotta get a decent pic... but is yours serrated or notched- can't tell. Polished? Thanks for the look! A treat every time-
Cheers

Thanks. I may be mistaken, but I'm thinking the little square chert piece is a scraper. If you look closely you'll see that it's not bi-facially flaked. As I understand, blades are flaked on both sides of the edge. I'd say that because this is unifacially flaked, it's a little square scraper.

Here's some better pix.

I have seen uniface flake knives, but I think that the one Kelly has is a type of end scraper. Nice little find!!
