RE: The exquisite handaxe, my favorite
The unwanted stone is chipped away, much faster but less precise and it creates a razor sharp but brittle edge.
Takes someone who is well practiced 10 to 15 minutes to make one of these.
In many instances these tools have been found, made on the spot of a kill, used to butcher the animal and then discarded.
Not only was it a Swiss army knife but a disposable razor too...
