New Years Day Giveaway!!!

Guess the weight of these fine Texas Tools I found this past week while visiting family . One is a beautiful example of a flake blade. The other is what I would call a chopper and would have been great at cutting up the huge Buffalo and deer and getting into manageable quarters ect. The kerrville knives/fist axe are much more detailed than this. Can guess in grams . I’ll leave it open until Wednesday 8 pm eastern ! Whoever is closest gets it. Both of the artifacts came from butches @ Camp Live Oak pay dig in Real County Texas .

Nice of ya and would be a good find if won from Iowa . No idea but will throw out 175 gms.

340 grams? I wish I would have paid attention in math class about now.

Hey Aaron, This is a fun contest. That's some nice looking material the artifacts are made of. I'm going to resist making a guess. I would probably hammer them into knife blades; couldn't help myself.

You can do what you want with them just don’t pull a rookie move like I did today and have your finger underneath your striking plat form with a 200 mile an hour razor blade flies out and slices top of your knuckle off

Ever since my mishap I wear cut-resistant gloves. I know a lot of knappers don't like to wear gloves but stone cuts are no fun. I saw a guy who had several stitches in his arm from a stone cut. While doing percussion work those flakes fly off at extreme speed like you said. And some of those flakes are sharper than a razor blade.

Now, if a “striking platform” was what I thot it was 4 mths ago (surface y’all used to hold or steady soon-to-be point so couldn’t go skittering across the room .....kinda like a modern cupstone, a special table with a vise), then THIS would not have happened!
