Handcrafted by lithic (stone) artifact replication specialist, Jay Valente, this stone knife exemplifies stone-age craftsmanship and utility. Like all of his lithic work, this is a premium high-grade museum quality replica and there was special attention given to historical accuracy and authenticity in its creation. Jay’s work has been featured for sale in the largest Native American museum in the world and both his lithic replicas and his lithic artifact consultation services have been touted by esteemed archaeologists and historical preservation offices alike.
Modeled after Native American stone blades and spear points of the paleo and time periods (about 12,000 to 9,000 years before present), this work utilizes a random flaking pattern and lancolate fluted “clovis” style.
From conception to completion, Jay traces the footsteps and actions of the ancient people. He selected a high quality stone of novaculite and brought it home to be cooked under a wood fire for several days. Unlike other stone knives or stone arrowheads you might find on eBay or Etsy, this is not a mass produced, machine cut or drilled product. It is entirely handcrafted. The raw stone was then flintknapped and pressure flaked with a deer antler and rock hammerstone using traditional primitive techniques and methods. The stone blade was then hafted onto an azalea branch. The novaculite blade is secured to the wooden handle with elk gut cordage and a pine pitch glue recipe.
This knife represents a rare feat of flintknapping skill. Using quality stone and primitive, traditional flintknapping methods he crafted this novaculite stone knife with historical considerations and authenticity of process in mind.
For the discerning collector or primitive technology enthusiast, look no further for a high-grade stone-age replica knife. This historical reproduction makes for a stunning educational or decorative display, however, it is sharp and sturdy enough to be used as well; perhaps as a stone skinning knife, or a stone survival bushcraft knife.

bringing color to the hallway with my 'scary pink' never ending can of paint, thrifted yarn from last week in 'super duper' bright colors and a few randomly placed doilies (suprise, suprise)...
the doors in hallway are now a fabby gloss chartreuse, and i have a few more things to paint before the transformation is complete...
Happy Easter 2021!
This rosary is my handmade, an Easter gift for my mother.
This gin is made locally, well about 30 miles from here in a little town called Jackton ... great name it has because it is most definitely "rare!"

Made for Johanna in the US. I've made three with this green Gothick scheme now - but I try to make every piece unique and never make two pieces identical. To commission a 'shelf room' please visit www.timsidford.com.

#arrowheads wrapped into #arrows with #jute and #hemp. All the local material will be tested shortly. (I’m sure I missed some) I need a strong pine pitch recipe if anyone has one I don’t want to lose these points. Also, don’t want to use toxic glue while hunting the little beasties…. #crafts #traditional #archery #primitive #bowhunting ift.tt/2aWQkot
