This reproduction of a Corner Notched Lost Lake knife blade (Early Archaic 9,000 to 6,000 BP) in its first form before resharpening was made by D. C. Waldorf from Washburn, Missouri. D. C. is the author of " The Art of Flintknapping ", a layman's guide which has sold more than 40,000 copies over the years. Waldorf is also the publisher of the periodical " Chips ", the best of the flintknapping journals. A purist, Waldorf uses only bone, wood, horn, wood & stone tools, viz. tools the Indians used. Thus, D. C.'s points are not as refined as Virgil Tonn's points, but they are closer to what was made by Native Americans. The material that D. C. used to construct this piece is Brandon Black. The point is corner notched, signed and dated 1995. Length = 84 mm (3.3 in) ; Weight = 30 gm
