two knives: obsidion and something else.
« on: November 18, 2011, 12:35:20 am »
Hey, Got two knives here that i am going to give away or trade for something. One is obsidian and the other, well, your guess is as good as mine. Found the rock on the west coast of Oregon. It was either there or Washington. Wherever Kincheloe bay is. I think it is in Oregon. Went through some training there years ago and don't really remember exactly. The mystery rock is much harder than the obsidian. Actually reminds me of some stone i found in Missouri. Tough stuff. Any ideas on what rock it may be are appreciated.

Those both look great.  But I have no idea what kind of rock that is.  Very cool pattern in it.  Nice work.

Very nice!  I do like the pattern in that stone...as mentioned could be an agate, petrified wood...where did u find it?  I will look up rocks and minerals from the area..

The other blade appears to be Picture Agate.  It was used by the local indains and was often a trade item.  Raw it is hard to use so am thinking this piece was already treated.  Makes a beautiful blade!  I can be found in quarys along the Columba River!  Nice work!  A/Ho Joe

Very nice, the grey one looks like banded chert here in MO, have no idea what it could be out on the west coast though.

If it looks like this, Joe nailed it. It's picture Jasper/Agate. You can find it in Oregon and Washington. It takes more than 450 dgs to make it fun and pretty.

Do you have to heat it to knap it? And apparently it comes in different colors?

You were right when you said one was obsidian and the other was something else!  That sure is something else! 

I love that blade, makes me think you have somehow created a damascus knapping technique.  Love it, just love it.
