sweet flaking, Matt. That's some pretty looking stone. Is Edwards Plateau near you, or did you trade for the rock? Sorry for my ignorance.

Edwards comes from Texas and is probably the most common knappable stone in the state blessed with the most knappable stone!  Usually it is sorta tan to carmel colored, but sometimes one gets a nice piece of purple like this one.......doesn't show up real well in the pic though.

I have another Woody Blackwell knife that is made of Imperial Jasper from Mexico. If you hold the knife up to the sun you can see through the outer edges of the stone. Its brilliant green.

The knife up in the front of this thread, made of Knife River flint has pieces of fern and other living material trapped inside the stone which you can clearly see- the knife is translucent when held up to a light source.

It is the sharpest thing I have ever touched to flesh, I can tell you that!

Welllll sometimes I can not coose just one.LOL
