Today’s find

[Up-North]

After a disappointing Friday and Saturday, I made up for it today.
Found this knife , totally exposed on the sandy surface.
It’s right at 3 1/2” with damage to one sides shoulder/ear.
Uncertain to its type, but have a couple of possibilities.
It’s also made of a different material than I’m used to seeing.
Your thoughts on a possible type is appreciated.

Do Etleys occur in your area? That is a smoker by all rights.

WOW sweet piece! That’s going to be find of the month not just Sunday...
With all those ridges and creek bottoms you really have a lot of great spots to go.

Although rare... etley shave been found in southern Minnesota..
It crossed my mind ... but the base throws it off...
It is a possibility... thank you, good sir.

Interesting how the one side has the small serrations so a knife I'm thinking. You find some really nice stuff up there in the Artic tundra!

Very nice find. From what I can see, I don't believe that is damage at all, but an intentional shoulder removal, just the way the owner left it.

The drawing of your cross section is called plano-convex. Or, flat side, hump side. Gary

I like it too. I dont have a clue as to type. I do like the way its made with both wings dropping a little. There is a style of Gary made like that here. I love them but they wont lay flat in a frame.
