Ground Slate Knives - Picture From Old Book

[JackCrafty]

Found these in an old book (online):
VOL II The stone age in North America; an archæological encyclopedia of the implements, ornaments, weapons, utensils, etc., of the prehistoric tribes of North America (1910) Author: Moorehead, Warren King, 1866-1939







There's no scale but in another book I have (The Archaeology of New York State - Revised Edition, William A. Ritchie, 1980) the average length of similar slate points is 3".

I think I need to get a hold of some slate.

I've made a lot of points, Ulus and knives from slate and jade. They will get sharp.
