Flint & Obsidian Knives
 The
stone blades in this collection were knapped by Ed
Vanover, a well-known local flint-knapper and rockhound
from Tucson, Arizona. He has given knapping seminars
to archeologists and anthropologists from the University
of Arizona, showing them how it was, or could be, done.
Most of his stone (obsidian excepted) is heat-treated
prior to knapping, which produces a more resilient
blade and vibrant colors.
Larry met Ed in 2000
at a local gem show and bought a few blades from Ed
to 'play' with. These knives are put together more
from an aesthetic than historically accurate view,
but they all fit the hand like a real using knife.
