| Description | Streaked honey-colored. "Naturally backed" means the back of the blade is formed by the pebble cortex as opposed to a normal "backed" blade where the back is never used, since there are no signs of wear. May have broken in production or have been rejected due to uneven cutting surface or excessively thick dorsal edge. Poorly struck. |
