The Hindsgavl Dagger

In the Neolithic period the flintworkers achieved very high technical standards. The magnificent dagger from Hindsgavl with its blade less than 1 cm thick is the finest example of the flintworkers’ outstanding skills at the end of the Stone Age. It was found around 1876 on tihe island Fænø in the Little Belt. The dagger type is called a ‘fishtail dagger’ because of the fishtail-formed hilt. Pressure-flaked daggers mark the beginning of the end of the Stone Age, and are the reason why the period from 2400-1800 BC is called the Dagger (Denmark History ste). Replicas Have been knapped by Ed Mosher, Errett

Callahan and D.C. Waldorf.

Giant Ray Harwood Points:

Ray Harwood, flintknapper. Large points made using a folcrum and lever to pry off massive flakes.

Ray Harwood has been knapping since he was about 9 years old. H e started Flintknapping Digest in 1983, helped start Knappers Quarterly, and started Flintknapping Magazine. Went to CSUN where he studied Lithics with Clay Singer. Taught to knap be his father. Influence by Dr. Don Crabtree, Bryan Rhinehartd and Dr. Jeannie Binng. Known for Ishi and Ted Orcutt research.

Ray Harwood, gold metal at Worlds' Master's Cup.

Ray Harwood, black belt in Karate and expert in several flintknapping styles made mant Samuri Swords of various lithic

materials.

Ray Harwood, one of 14 giant spear points made for a collecton, Mr. Roy. Made with lever flaker. and percussion.

Ray started the famous Wrightwood Knap-in in the 1980s and help Gary Pickett start the longest running monthly knap-in in the world, The Bakersfield Knap-in.
