I also am lucky enough to have a blade from Jessie.  He is an artist for sure. Would sure like to spend a week with him learning flintknapping and a week with Pappy learning how to make a self bow.

That is some kind of COOL! I have busted open lots of rocks with that geode looking stuff going on inside but have yet to salvage any of it.. Jesse is way out in front there!

that blade is cool, I was looking at some geode slabs today but wasn't to sure how to attack them, Bub
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

I knapped that blade about two years ago, I've held on to it for a long time. The crystals are actually a fossilized snail shell!!
 This is a very unique blade and after two years i could not think of a better home for it! Your very welcome Pappy!

That has to be the neatest blade I've ever seen.
