    The vast majority of flake tools from the Neolithic of Capsian Tradition of Africa are a fraction of the size of these massive examples!  These are some of only a handful of flake tools this size we have ever seen in 31 years of handling this material.  This is a set of THE FINEST examples of a large Capsian Neolithic handled knife and pick.  Both were made from tabular flint and both are complete with ingenious design and flaking to the large flint pieces.  The pick is heavily patinated in white with an amazingly narrow tip which could have been used for digging or even a weapon.  The knife shows evidence of use and fits well like a dagger, in the hand.  It has a backed blade and a flaked, integral grip, something we have seldom seen in this Neolithic culture. 

    Both are EXCEPTIONAL examples, are UNBROKEN and AS MADE!  Both tools feature wind polish and a natural glossy finish from millennia of long term exposure to the desert.  You could not ask for more impressive and top grade specimens of these two tools of this African Neolithic culture!  BOTH are of the highest degree workmanship and are complete and intact.  Like all AUTHENTIC specimens, these show original mineral sediments still impacted in the hinge fractures and micro-crevices.  NO RESTORATION, NO REPAIR.
