Biggest knife yet, and cool point

(1/2) > >>

Sasquatch:
This knife is from some landscape supply stone that I heat treated.  The stone for the point I picked up from scrap at a knapp-in.  Please tell me what it is?

Lobo69ss:
The smaller point looks to me like Novaculite.  It`s normally used heated from what little I know,  all I`ve had to work with I got from Ed Moser at the knapin he holds every fall at the family farm in Monon, IN.   When worked raw it takes a fine (sturdy) edge that`ll take some use before needing resharpening.

HoBow:
The coloring on the smaller point is awesome!

Tower:
I agree the smaller one is novaculite. The knife looks like some tough Edwards chert.   It will turn to butter with a lil heat.   

Sasquatch:
Thanks everybody,   Tower I love looking at your points!!! That thing is awesome!
