RAMEY KNIVES These six Ramey knives are typical examples. They represent the "classic" shape very well. Five of them are from Illinois and the second one from the right is reported to have been found in Rhea County, Tennessee. Some Ramey knives are bi-pointed but most are rounded or are unfinished on the basal ends. The average size for Ramey knives is between 6 and 9 inches (15.2 and 22.9 cm) long. Most Ramey knives are made of Mill Creek chert.
These six Ramey knives range in
size from 6 7/8 to 9 1/2 Creek chert.
