Nice knives

[quito]

Anyone have a nice knife form they would like to show?

This piece was laying on a table at a local farm retirement auction 3 miles from me a few years ago. It’s just over 4.5 inches long.
The home place was in a very desirable location right above a creek. I asked the owner about it, he said he found it nearby. Only artifact he had ever picked up. I suspect the place holds much more. It’s along the same creek most of the sites I hunt are on.
i couldn’t stay long enough for it to sell so I left a little cash with a friend and got it.

Not much on size or workmanship, but pretty neat colors.

I found this knife in a well worn deer trail, no telling how many times it was walked on. Good thing deer tread lightly.

Here is a 6” very thin Texas blade that’s in my collection…

That’s a great blade!!!

Thanks!
It is a nice artifact. It has some of the finest edge work I’ve seen. Just for the record I own this knife but it’s not a PF.

Well I got some photos of some of my father-in-law's finds. The photos aren't the greatest because of the glass and the lighting in the room, but the knives are pretty nice. My favorite is the Thebes that's just under 3". It's got a heck of a bevel and is wickedly serrated.

Thebes...
It's younger brother. Found in the same field...
It's about 2.5".

Here are some other nice knives. 1st one is about 3.5"


Here's a Lost Lake (I believe). It's about 3.25".


I apologize again for the poor photos. I was fighting reflections so I couldn't take the photos straight on.

Kindest regards,
Kantuck

Awesome looking pieces!

All nice. That Thebes looks like it's sharp as a razor and the Lost Lake is just wow

 

[sandchip]

I've always wanted a Thebes, but I doubt that I'll ever find one down my way. Good stuff, Kantuck.

Really nice knives , love the lost lake and the Adena looking one has some neat looking colors

This 5 3/8” knife form is a PF from Limestone Co. Texas. Never knew what to type this one as because the base is ground and has a paleo type profile.

That's not a Perd Jon? Sure has the look!

That’s one beautiful blade

That's what I called it when I grubbed it up Terry. It sorta looks like one, and is made from Edwards Plateau, but the flaking isn't consistent with the Perd style, the stem is too long and is heavily ground. I guess it prolly could be early perd tho. lol

Hellacious, whatever it be.
