    Ed Mosher made me an arrowhead a few years ago at the Parke County Covered Bridge festival out of some beautiful flint ridge chert. It took him about 5 minutes to make, and is some of the best knapping I have seen in person.

    Wonderful work, really enjoyed watching you. Years ago (mid 90's) I was able to see some Danish flint work friends in Oregon had. They were from Denmark, and lived on a farm half a mile from the Holmsgaard site where the old bow was found. They didn't have a dagger per se... but a nearly perfectly square shaft about a 10"- 12" long and 1.5" - 2" square. And I mean square!! Beautiful "stiched" corners. As I recall one end looked almost like it was a digging tool.. or some utilitarian tool. Now days I would have just taken a picture with my phone, LOL. I was somewhat confused by the tool because it looked like a very large dagger handle, with out the dagger. I told them it was amazing work, and wanted to show it to some other to knappers I knew, but they thought I was overly enthused. They considered it a rather mundane object, but yeah, Jesus wasn't a hero in his home town either.

    BEAUTIFUL work sir! I thought that stitch line in middle of the handle could only be done with magic, lol, but you are a master and a magician! And things

      @jinglemyberries866 2 роки тому +2

      Of course he's not gonna spend 2 days or however long it'd take to grind this by hand when he doesn't need to. Does he strike you as someone who has anything to prove by doing it entirely by hand? As if he hasnt made hundreds of these without modern machines in the past?

    • @Jason1975ism
      @Jason1975ism 5 років тому +5

      if you made a few hundred of these you'd use a few time savers, believe me. grinding by hand, which i am sure he has done, takes hours of elbow grease.
