This pinhead blade will make a dandy knife,undecided on type of handle for this one

 Nice looking blades, Roger. I've never seen Ledge that color. Was it grainy? I'm still hoarding my Pinhead.

Maybe I'm wrong on the ledge ID.It's some I got off of Rick S. at Dade knapp in.I thought it came out of the Alifi river.It's black outside white inside ,I had to heat it to work it.Eddie you might have a better idea what it is.

  Ahh,, It's Alifia coral, Anytime you want to get some, I know where it's at. It is real sweet heated. Ledge is smokey black or grainey gray.
