KNAPPERS PARADISE

I bought a repro from Jarrod ( Dwain R associate ). In the course of talking to this top notch Knapper
It seems there is a huge KNAP-IN on April 9 to 13 in Fredericksburg.

I bought an Andice drill made out of Llano flint. The pic is sitting on a lump of Marble Falls red
granite,

The Knap in has how to demonstrations, things to buy, from tools to blocks of interesting materials to knap
also finished products.
Dig for more details on Google.

Re: KNAPPERS PARADISE

How can you tell the difference between a knapped point and a real point? Is it possible to get a point papered that you buy from a show? How can you prove it is authentic?

Re: KNAPPERS PARADISE

Modern knapped points can rightfully be considered money when the individual purposely sets out to sell
the item at the same price as authentic, thousands of dollars are at stake. A good authenticator uses many
diciplines that have to prove out.

Never heard that question before Lunker, I would think the "fakes" actually might raise the overall
prices of authentics. When an individual makes a "good deal" on a wonderfull point and finds out it was made last month and near worthless, his next buy is likely to have a COA thus demand keeps prices
rising.
Look at "the most common point found in TX". . . the humble PERD. . . $950. !
