1. Congratz on no knicks of cuts from this one.
2. No clue on the stone type for the guest appearance, except that the transition from chalcedony to agate is the translucent nature of the agate s the opacity of the chalcedony/chert/flint. We've mainly only collected the local mud stone, chert, and the agatized coral in our regional zone.
3. Best-to-crafting when it comes time to haft the blade. I remember a way back when from a living archeology crafter that made a flip out pocket knife with a leather wrapped blade, and just peeled back the leather covering the cutting edge, like a banana, when he wanted to use the blade, and then flip it back up for covered storage. Anyhow, 👍

Thank you I appreciate it. I also think it is agate or chalcedony. I think we are going to use a white tail deer jaw bone for this one just because I have a few ready.
