Flintknapping a Corner Tang knife from Texas Chert

This was a tough piece of chert I picked up on the San Gabriel river near Georgetown Texas. I heat-treated it at 425F for 5 hours.
The odd angles and grainy inclusions gave me a bit of trouble in the beginning but eventually It thinned out.
Overall this was an interesting project with some good learning curves!
let me know I you want to see me make a handle for it!

I wish my phone did that for me when I was learning, I had to teach myself.
