JMO a Paleo and dang it would have been a super killer but it is a great find

That sure would have been a beauty, looks like it may have been a large knife. The bottom of it in the first two photos, is that what was the base?

I'm guessing you're in central KY'ish. They are large square based knives in the area. A little further east it could be Wadlow related but I think you have a KY variety of square stemmed knife. I've found a couple broken ones similar to what you have but I've never seen them typed. Tennessee River Knife is as close as I've seen in a book. Very cool either way.

I've hunted right in your backyard many times. I'd love to still be back there hunting. Tons of good stuff to be found.
