Title: Banana blade.
Post by: Stringman on September 28, 2016, 12:15:25 pm

Just finished this 10.5" blade out of Georgetown chert. Can't wait to get it turned into a knife.

Thanks guys, had to really take my time and try to get it looking right. Good thing georgetown is a forgiving rock or it woulda been in pieces with me clobbering around on it.
