Something Different, Flint, Primitive, Etc.

[TwoDogs]

Lots of post showing some really great blades on here, but wanted to mix it up a little if you'll let me.

Would love to see some pics of primitive type pieces including but certainly not limited to:

Flint pieces
Stone tools
Primitive hatchets
Primitive knives....including old butcher knives that have been used and or modified
Etc. etc. etc.

Gotta love the old ways, and old pieces that still see use.....no offense but no new shiny stuff for this post please.

Thanks in advance to all that will post, anxious to see them!

I'll start with a few nice drill bits.

These are arrow heads, used to bring down game animals and to kill their enemies.

These are hand held round knives, used to field dress and skin game animals.

This is a digging tool, like a shovel or a hoe.

This is a war club or ax.

These are Atl-atl spear points.

In a few states it is legal to deer hunt with an Atl-atl.

A flint core, they knapped off small thin bladlets, probably used to cut leather.

I've only found these on one site, they are rare, I have about 300.
