Sweetwater Replication















Sweetwater Replica----This blade has an average W/T of 14.7/1 measured accurately with the Fowler thickness gauge seen on this website.

This is the best of the Sweetwater Replicas made by Bill. It is 10 1/4 inches long with an average width of 3.24 inches and average diameter of .22, which gives it an incredible average W/T ratio of 14.7/1!

To see how I calculate an average diameter/width to get an average W/T please read  http://www.modern-flintknapping.com/grading-objective.html

This is a record for modern flintknapping W/T ratios that I am aware of.
