Ground and polished slate was a widely used blade material. It was easy to obtain, shape, and sharpen. Slate knives have been found with widely varying blade sizes, from quite large to little hafted nubs.

This man’s knife has a finely ground slate blade set into a grooved driftwood handle with pierced pommel, and secured with hide strips.

The protective pouch is made of carp skin and thin deer hide.
