Blade is costal plains chert (raw so no heat treatment applied).  Antler handle, wish I could take credit for the artwork on the handle but that's beyond my skill.  Hope y'all like.

Trapper, I got it off ebay.  Typed in carved antler knife handle.  Had a lot of nice handles available, I wanted the Native American look for this one.

Mullet, yes it is.   We call it "dump" rock.  It came from the city dump in Dothan lol.  When they dug into the dump the found a lot of costal plains.  Well one of the workers was a knapper and told th to dump the rock on his property.  So there is literally tons of it available.
