Is there any one with pictures of this type that you have done that i can use as a guide line so i can make one out of some purple sheen obsidian that i have. ;D
-
from what i have seen in the OVERSTREET GUIDE
they are like most other daltons,just have a serrated edge
not that big of a deal
make a dalton,then serrate the edge ;)
you could google it ifn ya want to see a pic
or ifn i get the ambition to take a pic of the one made a while back(but dont hold your breath,i havent been into pic posting lately)
-

Thanks cowboy that is an excellent Dalton serrated. Also collect paleo Indian arrowheads and i have realize that every arrowhead i find is an achievement of technology and a means of survival for the paleo Indians and a tribute to their skills to live in their worlds. From birdpoint to axeheads and beyond anybody who knapps i believe should respect the any type or tool that was first made by people who lived a freer life then we do today. OK i got a little out of touch but i think anybody who reads this and knapps will agree.
