Good looking knife, Jamie.
Hillbilly:
I got one roughly bifaced out, figured I'd take pics before I break it :) I haven't decided yet whether to break it while fluting it into a Clovis, or break it while notching it into a dovetail, or break it some other creative way. ;D

Hillbilly:
OK, here's the finished product. I decided to make it into a Dalton, one of my favorite types. The johnstone kinda looks like the Burlington chert that most of those Sloan daltons were made from, but it's a heckuva lot tougher. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to try to run long pressure flakes on that stuff-I've now got a big blister on my Ishi finger. :) It's a little shy of 6" long x about 1 1/4" wide. A little thick, but not bad for the point type and this crappy material-I think it would do the deed on a longhorned bison or a stray mastadon. Sorry for the crappy pics, hard to get flake scars to show on a white point.
