Characteristics

Handle and blade made from a whole block, knapped, mostly with a punch

The blade can be polished before flaking, depending on the dagger type

Pressure flaking and punch knapping exclusively made with copper tips

These daggers were massively produced 4.000 years in Northern Europe.
It is believed that they were copycats of the first metal daggers, and that the "stitches" would be a reminder of the molding traces.

The fabulous type IV daggers, with a fish tail and triangular section handle are, without any doubt, the most complex tool ever knapped by man.
