I get some similar from the Nissan plant outside Nashville, I have made knives and make lots of scrapers out of them, no need to harden the ones I get, just go slow and keep cool while shaping, mine are 50,000 thick so a little thin for a knife except short or a filia  knife, I have also made a lot of trade points, it is just right for that. Nice find. :)
