Dagger, Iron1996-15/1

Double-ended dagger with handle (blade closer to handle is not sharp). Similar to the daggars used by the Tlingit (see "The Tlingit Indians" by Emmons 1991, p. 340). Bill Holm assessed this dagger and believes it to be a Puget Sound style influenced by the Tlingit style due to the difference in tapering and the proportions of the dull end (Tlingit style would be longer). This dagger was found in the 1980s by Mr. Frank Reinig, a groundsperson working on the Maloney property in the Highlands, North Seattle. Mr. Reinig found it about 2 miles up from the beach, alongside a stump, in the dirt. He said some sort of cloth or leather handle/sheath was wrapped around the handle, but was too deteriorated to salvage. LSP, 2/13/96.
