This is a very well done video. The artist is a master at his craft and successfully demonstrates all the steps in making one type of the Danish dagger. This is flint at its highest form , the best it would get before metal tools took over. This is not an easy method, in fact it takes over 20 hours of work to complete this stone dagger. The most interesting part is that in one step the dagger is polished using sandstone until it is smooth and then it is pressure flaked to complete it.
