Since the tools are flint knapped and fragile. Best guess for now would be dressing field game to take home to the wife. |

Yes they work together but do such different jobs. You show tools for hunting and killing as well as dressing and hide preparation. As well as a couple of other steps in that set. |

Nice reproduction set. |

So if we understand what the tools are used for, or on.... we could then know more about what the tools are? edit: Shucks I'm good.... |

I see an arrow head the black pointy thinky at the bottom center. The main tool is an Adzes used for smoothing hides or carving wood. There is a stone knife, the black pointy thing with the wood handle Then the others appear to be scraping tools. Is this a boat building set? |

Let's check what there is. 1 handle 3 interchangeable tool bits 2 replacement tool bits 1 hammer stone It is a tool kit for something. But what? |

Information I have, per the builders site including construction photos - they are modern reproductions (2010) of Groswater Paleoeskimo tools now at L'Anse aux Meadows - would indicate they, except the adze, are used in animal hunting/food preparation. However you have indicated they were not used in hunting and obviously this particular set never had any use and the originals were not even a set. I think Carlos should be the winner. |

I think the adze could be used like a meat cleaver running it down the side of long bones. |
