A well-preserved late Neolithic flint dagger found in Allensbach at the Lake Constance, southwest Germany, dating 2900-2800 BCE. The blade was made of flint from Monte Baldo in northern Italy. It was fastened with birch tar in a handle made of elderwood.

Ingenious.
Awesome.
How did they shuck oysters back in the times before metal? I think flint would break.
You know the person who had lost this by the lake was probably heartbroken… That is a work of art and was surely a prized possession. đŸ˜¢I imagine the handle would have been wrapped with soft leather to give it a better grip and perhaps it even had some special decoration on it…
