It is here. I know this sort of thing lacks the blood letting appeal for most members here, but to me it is a very fascinating and beautifully made object. It is a knife and clearly something unusual even in the original context. "Bud" Hampton, mentions stone knives and found them puzzling. The stone displays grinding marks that I would expect, no file marks. The scabbard appears to be made from Banana fiber. It is expertly fashioned fitting like a glove. All though constructed with simple materials it is better made than many scabbards of leather, wood and metal I have handled. I am very pleased with it.
