Here is a ND piece that a well know archaeologist called a Goshen Knife. Depending on the cross section, I think yours could just be a much nicer version of this piece (chalk pocket and all.)

(Apologies for the grubby hands, I was cleaning up the grill after dinner and didn't realize they were filthy.)

Beautiful piece. Too bad it broke at that weak spot.

The "chalk" is actually a fossilized piece of a cattail. The KRF deposit formed over a cattail swamp. I also read that the KRF material is silicified lignite. Gary
