Jesse, that dagger is awesome, and the point is beautiful! Great work!  Have I ever mentioned that it isn't fair for one person to have so much talent...what did you say the score was you shot on the course over the weekend? ;)

thanks for the post pappy.
Guys i spent about 4-5 hrs on this one. seemed like every flack was preped and set up just right and i felt like i was one wrong move from snapping it the whole time.
I'm really glad it terned out. its not stitched but i don't think all the real ones were stitched. regardless i am proud of it. Now i just need to find another big piece of rock and try another one. Oh yea thanks Wolf Watcher thats the big piece of Texas flint you gave me at the classic.

That's some kinda cool Jesse! 8)  I bet hitting a piece that big does raise he pucker factor a little.

 That horse creek is stunning. Is it that color before heating?

Jesse, that's awesome! Looks like you've got that punch flaking down, and I don't even see any flakes stuck in your forehead. ;D Sweet dagger, and that Horse Creek point is sure some eye candy, too.

Sure am impressed with your skill!!   :o :o :o  I always think there is a point or blade hidding in every good rock and you certainly found one in that big ole boulder.  Hope to find another good sized one for you at next year's classic!  Beyond the blade the color in the point and the workman's ship on it is beyond what most of us hope to achieve!  ("STAND IN THE DOOR")  Pokie

Awesome dagger (and point). Just curious... how long did it take you to knock that dagger out?
Title: Re: Jesse's Dagger and 1 point.
Post by: leapingbare on September 14, 2009, 04:21:13 pm
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.

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
