Out of either Perry or Spencer County, Indiana,, 99.9% chance it was an Ohio River beach find from one of the many Woodland occupation camps/ flint knapping stations along the river (flint source was not too many miles upstream, and many, many tools were knapped -out to lighten the flint gatherers' dugouts for the journey home. The piece was sold to a local doctor in my area, became part of his estate--length is 3&5/8" by nearly 1&1/8", only 5/16" max thickness. The breaking open of the hornstone nodule resulted in a dip-in that became part of the upper blade--it resulted in a slight twist to the length of the knife--pics should show it. With a natural shape like that the knife wasn't meant to become a point type, it was strictly to be a knife--maybe hand-held as that natural dip-in makes the piece fit your hand 'ergonomically'...if that makes sense. Leave it at that, it (the knife) is patinated, real, and really fits your hand. Shipping coms with the price, checks or M.O>s are the welcomed payment forms. Sorry, I do not use paypal--Roy A.
