[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 3167958, member: 78244"]Maybe “broad” was the wrong word. I was referring to the strong curve and the flat top edge. Your leftmost knife fits in this category. Ooo. Exciting! Good points. I don’t have hoard evidence, so I can’t say one way or another. I was just going off of how one style change clearly led to the next. It is far more likely that knives 1 and 2 are from a different production center than 3, and thus should not be included in the evolution. Maybe those were the ones found in Qi. The style is markedly different. Straight knives? That would mean that they are much older than originally thought. But I have seen prototype knife coins (and actual knives), and many are stright and not curved. I would like to read this work. Where is that from? I did not see it in any of my references. Oops. :oops::shy: Very nice set! You think they show an evolution of the type? That curved specimen would suggest roots to the pointed-tip knives, as does the reinforced ridge. I think there is plenty of evidence of interstate trade in these knife/spade/round coin/ant nose hoards.[/QUOTE]
