Here's a newnan I knapped out of some Ga.Flint River .A little more heat would have helped,I bought the rock so I don't know how he treated it.The crud in the stem was a pain in the but,I might just grind it down if I haft it

The larger one I made at the Silver River Knapp-in.It's bigger and alittle thicker but will make a nice knife.

Oh, I thought I had missed the Silver Glen again. I might check out the Pioneer Day Fest, but it is hunting season.

Fabulous looking knives   I would love to see a sugar press demo, and...get in on some syrup making.  Sounds like a good time.  '  Frank
