The different flint knives types
Characteristics
Corner-Tangs have the following characteristics:
Flint or obsidian blade, knapped, fully polished then pressure flaked
Triangular or leaf-shaped blade, hafted to the handle by one of its corners
Characteristic excentric peduncle on the blade
These medium size knives are typical from Northern America and were used as much for cutting as for scraping skins
Their peculiar shape is very modern and a must-have for many collectors.
