about 15mins to get the bi-face out of the bolder.
8hrs heat treating the bi-face.
3-4 hrs terning the large bi-face into the dagger.
 I usually knap faster but i really tuck my time to set up each platform. i wanted to be able to remove large flaks with minimal force.

cool Jesse. The point looks like some kind of tropical fish. ;D The dagger is very impressive but I want to see stitching on the next one. ;)

Jesse
That dagger is Awesome.  You have to be proud of that one, that is some really great craftsmanship.  The point is great as well, what a beautiful piece of stone.  You have some real talent.

 Damn Jesse, those are nice. When you get one out of that pretty Horse Creek you definately know you have a "keeper". Sweet Danish dagger and you are right, all of them weren't stiched. I saw some pictures of real ones that Claude took in museums in Denmark.

Really cool point and dagger, I  remember that session at the classic with James, you guys are really talented. It was a pleasure to watch you knapp Jesse.
Good job
