“Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem.”
Is that an example of Solutrean knapping?
Doubt it's a dagger, more like a spearpoint. And possibly ceremonial at that.
Bet that can get sharper than any steel blade you have. I know glass can be sharp down to the molecular level on the cutting edge...
Whomever lapped that knew what they were doing, that is a piece of art. MNS is right, I bet it is sharper than steel.
Spear point but from a large burial site with many such weapons. http://benedante.blogspot.com/2018/05/valencina-de-la-concepcion-copper-age.html
YA looks just like the spear points I have seen LONG AGO in Cherokee country. IN the SMOKEY MTNS, Blue Ridge.
