mullet:
     I stopped by Claude VanOrders house yesterday, took him some Novaculite, got some helpfull tips and visited for awhile. Claude and another friend, Steve Oliver had just gotten back from Denmark. I got to see all the pictures of Viking burial mounds,and the unbelievable pictures of Danish Daggers and axes in the museums they visited. They also brought back 1200# Of nice, black, Danish Flint. Here is a replica of a Danish arrowhead that was in one of the museums and a three sided point that was used for piercing armor.If you look close at the edges, they weren't pressure flaked but punched in. Claude said the museum had a skull that had been hit in the side of the nose and the point had severed the spinal column.

How the heck did he do a three sided point like that. That is cool!

Very, very goog flintknapping! See the large flakings(?) in the last pic!
Thats craftmanship! I`m still working on theses big flakes pressing away.

  David, I asked Claude the same thing. He said he couldn't tell me but he could show me how. I'd like to head shoot something with it. Uwe, Steve is getting good, Claude is teaching him and is light years better.
