Nontron 2016 Knife Festival

On August 6 and 7, 2016 we were invited to the 21st Nontron (24) Knife Festival. It is one of the 3 major festival organized in France, with Coutellia in Thiers (63) and SICAC (75). This great adventure was made possible thanks to FX (Editorial Director of La Passion des Couteaux), whom I would like to thank again very much!

I offered the public an animation on the sharpness during prehistoric times, from the chopping tool to the bronze axe blades, I also gave demonstrations of fire by friction, by percussion, in addition to a trip back to the time of Cro-Magnon.

Around me a large and warm audience paraded around me during the two days, many very nice meetings. It was very intense in every respect!

During the presentation of my animations, the rest of the clan proposed our new pieces, knives and cases, ornaments, arrowheads and prehistoric arrows.

A big thank you to Marie-Laure (and the whole organizing team) who welcomed us very well.

The Kepinski tribe had not come for 10 years, for the duration of a house. So it was a great moment for all of us and a discovery for the youngest one.
