tis stone age stone cold gorgeous stone blade.

Thanks again guys.

2,000 year old, pre-Aztec obsidian knives from Mexico supposedly used for human sacrifices pictured below. Also commonly used for blades, points, etc. by native Americans in the Western and Northwestern US.

Nice blades Jim, yours?

No, I wish they were. I have a few chert points and blades from this area but there's no obsidian in Florida. The picture is from an article discussing the use of the blades for sacrifices. Coincidentally though, my daughter returned a few days ago from a trip to Washington State and brought me a small obsidian knapped knife with a mountain goat horn tip for a handle that she bought somewhere up there. Not nearly as large or nice as your knife but still pretty cool.

Post it. There's tons of these out there and they are cool.

Jim, you must have missed the rule re: " always must post any knife (or firearm, fishing rod, etc., or other similar item as appropriate) whenever given to you by spouse, son, and especially daughter AND grandchildren, as these items always trump all posted previously and after."

I'll give it a shot guys but everyone here knows all too well how poor my photo skills are.

This was a gift from an old army buddy, I think he got it in Mexico.

Sorry Wally.....missed the "old Army Buddy" part of the rule; 1 of the most important parts.
Great post!
