This reproduction of a Native American spear or atlatl
dart point was made by D.
C. Waldorf from Washburn, Missouri. D.C. is the
author of " The Art of Flintknapping ", a layman's guide
which has sold more than 40,000 copies over the years.
Waldorf is also the publisher of the periodical " Chips ",
the best of the flintknapping journals. A purist, Waldorf
uses only bone, wood, horn, wood & stone tools, viz.
tools the Indians used. Thus, D. C.'s points are not as
refined as Virgil Tonn's points, but they are closer to what
was made by Native Americans. The material that D. C. used
to construct this piece is Flint Ridge Flint from Ohio. The
point is corner notched. Length = 92 mm ; Weight = 30 gm
