Reproduction Indian Knife

I also collect arrowheads (flint). Most flint, especially if it is over a couple of inches, was likely used as a knife, scraper, or spear point instead of on an arrow shaft. The knife pictured is a reproduction made in the 21st century with 21st century tools. Very few of the real flint knives from thousands of years ago would resemble the modern blade shape that this flint has.
I display it to help explain why I have both a collection of knives and arrowheads - i.e., I don't have 2 collections - I only have 1 collection - a knife collection. My wife still thinks I have too much stuff whether it is one collection or 2
PS. this thing will cut - it is sharp. When you hold it and run your finger across the point or down the edge you know right away this is more than a novelty.
