Womans Knife, (Unfinished).The appearance of the womans knife—broad and thin—wouldlead one to suppose that in every case the article had been produced. Fig. 4. (1,590) full size. from a piece of easily split schist or slate. No doubt material ofthis kind was chosen when procurable, but Huronian slate, whichseems to have been the preferred kind of stone for this and a fewother purposes, does not lend itself readily to the splitting process,and the thinness to which such implements have been reduced is,probably, to a large extent, the result of rubbing down. Unfin-ished, or only partly made specimens of this kind are comparativelyrare, but the few that have been found indicate the necessity of muchgrinding or rubbing to bring them into shape. • Figure 4, (1,590) was found by Mr. llobert Martin on his farmlot 27, con. 6, Scarboro township. Until a somewhat recent date, tools of this kind were in use amongthe Eskimo. Stone File.
