That's some fine knapping. Looks like it will make a great pig sticker.

Nice blade, Bob. I struggle with Keokuck so I love seeing someone have success with it. Nice edge work and notching.

john, I also sometimes have problems with steps on keokuk, but seem to have gotten better with it. I think strong platforms an solid hits are the answer. I know that things improved for me after I discovered that just because preforms are getting thin ya still need to hit them with authority :o :o :o
