08-D401. Type I-D Dagger made from heat treated Arkansas Novaculite.  This early type bifacial dagger was flaked  mostly by percussion and has a broad blade and a narrow, well defined handle as did the originals.  This is a massive piece with incredible color, the lighter areas being translucent! Length, 13 1/4 inches. Price $300 SOLD

07-D397. Type III-B Dagger made from Georgetown flint. The handle has a diamond shaped cross section and is stitched on both sides. It also expands slightly toward the pommel that is flattened. This is a very shapely Type III that is bordering on a Type VI-A. The blade is thin, broad and has a fine pressure finish over a percussion flake surface.  Length, 8 1/4 inches. Price $300  SOLD 

04-D347. Type III dagger with a cortex pummel. Made from Georgetown flint, this is a super piece! The handle is stitched on both sides and most of the blade is covered with pressure flaking. The pummel has cortex on it from the outside of the original nodule, as is quite often seen on the originals. $175.  SOLD

08-D-409. Type IV-A dagger made from British flint which is from the same chalk formation as the Danish flint and they are often hard to tell apart. This type of dagger is a kin to the Type III in the shape of the blade, however, since the handle expands toward the pommel, it is classified as a Type IV.  The handle is stitched on both faces with no side stitching or any around the pommel edges as is seen on most originals. Being a transitional type that had a short production period, circa 1950 BC, originals are somewhat scarce. The blade is finished with pressure over percussion flakes.   Length, 8 5/16 inches. Price, $350. SOLD

08-D-405. Type IV-B dagger made from light grey semi-translucent Novaculite. This type of dagger has a wide flaring handle with a blade that is usually narrower than this one. I just could not chip away all that nice material, so I left the blade wide, and who's to say some of the old ones were not once like this?  The handle is stitched on both faces with nice stitching around the pommel and down the sides as well. The blade is finished with pressure over percussion flakes.   Length, 7 3/16 inches. Price, $300. SOLD

08-D400.  Type IV-E dagger. Made from cream colored Keokuk Burlington chert with a fabulous red, spider-web pattern. This is a nice little dagger with the front face of the handle having stitching while the backside is flat, as is seen on the originals. It also has stitching around the pommel and down the sides of the handle. The blade on the front or "show side" is finished with oblique pressure flaking over a partially ground surface.  The back side has a large grinding patch in the center of the blade. The color was partly to blame for the need to grind [it interrupted the flow of the flaking] which is also found on many originals. Still, this is a unique and beautiful piece! Length, 7 1/4 inches. Price, $300. SOLD

08-D411.  Small Type IV-E dagger made from British flint which is from the same chalk formation as the Danish flint and they are often hard to tell apart. This little dagger would make a nice "boot knife." The front face of the handle has stitching while the backside is flat, as is seen on the originals. It also has some stitching around the top edge of the pommel and nice stitching down the sides of the handle. The blade on the front or "show side" is finished with pressure over percussion flakes, while the back side has two patches of cortex left from the original spall that was removed from the outside edge of a 200 pound boulder!   Length, 5 1/4 inches. Price, $175. SOLD

                                                                          LATE NEOLITHIC SET
A tabular nodule of beautiful, chocolate colored Pedernales flint I got at a Texas knap-in many years ago was saved for something special. A big Type IV dagger was the plan, but there was a hidden crack that almost foiled my attempt. I ended up with a smaller, but a non-the-less, super dagger, out of the biggest piece, and a very fine Wheat Sickle out of the smaller one. To add insult to injury, I made the Tanged & Barbed Beaker Point from a chip that came off the dagger! All of these are contemporaneous, circa 1900 BC, and could have belonged to the same man! Now they can all be yours at the reasonable price of $450. 08-D421 Type IV-E dagger, length, 8 1/4 inches. 08-284 Wheat Sickle, length, 6 inches.  08-285 Bell Beaker Tanged & Barbed Arrow Point, length, 1 1/4 inches. SOLD

04D-354. Type IV-E made from Keokuk Burlington chert. This full sized dagger has nice stitching on the top and sides of the handle, as well as the pummel. The blade has a lot of nice pressure flaking on the front face, and no one can help but notice the color on the handle. 
9 & 1/4". Price is $400. SOLD

99-D258. Type VI-B Dagger made from Danish Flint. At the beginning of the Bronze Age in Southern Scandinavia some tools were still being made from flint. One such item was the "Fire Striker" dagger. These were small type VI daggers that were carried in a man's fire making kit along with tinder and an iron pyrite nodule. The blade of the dagger could have been used to shave the tinder and the end of the handle was struck with the pyrite, sending a shower of sparks into it. Curiously enough these little daggers have been found along with bronze swords in graves dating to around 1750 to 1500 BC. The small, tabular piece of flint I made this little guy from I personally picked up off the beach on my 1993 visit to Denmark. The blade is thin and translucent when held up to the light. I have had it since I made it in 1999 but it is time to let it go for I have a few others in my collecting and no longer need this one so let it join  the other goodies in your possibles bag!      Length, 6 1/4 inches. Price, $100. SOLD
