Bo Earl's "TheThin Man"

Today I had the pleasure of measuring Bo Earl's "The Thin Man" point. This is a percussion piece and as the name implies, it is very thin.

The piece measures 4.1 inches long, 2.4 inches wide and .235 inches in diameter at the thickest point.

The piece has an average diameter of .196 inches and an average width of 2.2 inches giving it a super average W/T ratio of 11.2/1. The standard W/T ratio is 10.1/1(click directly on "grading and scoring" on the main site, for it is not listed on the drop down menu, to see how I figure average diameters)

This blade has a score of 637 using the Modern Flintknapping Scoring System. For more info. on the scoring system check out http://www.modern-flintknapping.com/grading-system.html

Check out Bo's gallery at http://www.flintknappers.com/store.php?sid=Nw%3D%3D to see pictures of the piece.

Here are some pictures I took of it as well.
































I would like to thank Bo for giving me the privilege to measure such a piece.
