Dale Duby, of Prairie City, Oregon is renowned for his flintknapping skills and elegantly hand crafted obsidian knives. Dale recreates these items by many of the same techniques used by pre-historic man. Grinding, abrading, percussion, and pressure flaking are terms used by today’s modern flintknappers. Over the years, the line has been expanded from a few very basic aboriginal styles to now include many different handle materials, including bone, wood and antler. Great Basin Art’s knives include oblique parallel flaking and fine craftsmanship on the handles.
