TYPE V DANISH This dagger was very skillfully made by using pressure flaking. The blade doesn't seem to show any signs of previous grinding prior to the very uniformly done diagonal pressure flake removals, but grinding may have been used during the manufacturing process of making this dagger. The handle is nicely flared on the end and it has very well done "stitching" or zigzag flaking on both of the edges. This dagger measures 7 15/16 inches (19.9cm) long. |
