I don’t see my last name often, so it was cool to see the knife made by E. Moos as I’m also an E. Moos

Wie würden Steinklingen geschliffen?

That is an incredible core technique I'm truly amazed by it.

easy

Great you filmed that, always nice to see bladecores!

Oh yes

It s so cool❤

Whats the material of the grinding wheel? I'm currently grinding a 1C with sandstone and it takes forever hahaha

Yo rush sigma chi lambda nu

Unser unnachahmlicher Harm. Aber was noch viel erstaunlicher ist: Er ist ein Füllhorn des Wissens steinzeitlicher Techniken. So mancher Irrglaube, die mannigfachen Mythen früher Kulturen entzauberte er durch Praxis und Erfahrung, Ja, die Klingen sind superb.

This is some next-level dedication and patience!

Very interesting shape to the tip, i need to try this one 👍

Please make a similar video. More on this technique please

Nice to se a german knapping flintblades my way👍

Great stuff

This is amazing

Why would you chop a green tree down, they didn't use green wood?

Try it on dead dry oaks.

My 3rd Great Grandpa came to America in 1854 from Trier where he was born. Greetings from Wisconsin^!!^ Thanks for your Phenomenal Thinking!

Great video! Knappers are the same wherever you go - great bunch of guys & girls.

I've seen other similar tests. Why is it they feel obligated to chop down a live tree when a dead log would be just as good?

I would suggest you use some anvil stone, on which to wear down the excess material, its a bit easier and puts less strain on the hand doing the knapping

need a warm animal to do this with a very cold deer cant be accurate results

Sehr cooles, altes Handwerk! Hat mich schon immer fasziniert... Hab mir ein paar Kilo Flint online gekauft und bin jetzt am Ausprobieren, aber was wirklich gutes kam bisher nicht dabei raus. Leider kommt Flint hier bei uns in Süd-Niedersachsen nicht natürlich vor. Gibt es Literatur, die du für Anfänger empfehlen kannst? LG Jan

What a pleasure to watch! Thanks for sharing.

When (hopefully some day) everything gets back to normal and travel is more open, I'd love to go to Europe and visit relatives in Germany and Sweden, as well as some ancient sites, museums, and at lease one knapp-in!

What a good time. Thanks for sharing Marquart! (Sofus has whiskers now:))

I'd love to attend a European Knapp-in some day!

Grand merci pour ce partage 🙂

Sweet

first comment in 2 years.

can someone tell me where can I order some of this flint?

💯

Hallo es ist sehr selten andere Deutsche flintknapper zu sehen trifft ihr euch regelmäßig ? Ich würde gerne Kontakt zu euch aufnehmen.

Where do you source your flint? Those nodules are incredible

Wow! Krankes Material was ihr da habt! :D Hätte ich auch gern, aber leider hab ich nur ne alte Fensterscheibe, die ich im Moment zu Pfeilspitzen umarbeite... :)

My teacher was trying to explain what are microliths, Now I understand. Thanks. ( I know this channel is not made for teaching )

Does the weighted sled seem to make the grinding process noticeably faster?

The drawknife idea is so good and most important of all so simple, it's mesmerising!

Great craftsmanship! I learned so much in a few minutes of video :)

That axe grinding machine is a great idea. Any evidence of something like this being used in ancient times??

You guys have some great flint to work with, and thank you!

Really clever idea for that drawknife!

Genius knapping method there!

Hello Blatts, a variation of this was cited by I believe Sellars, around 1880, in the US. I believe he obtained the information from a miner. It may have been recorded twice. The only real difference is that they pre-loaded the limb with pressure, and then struck above the flaking spike, with a wooden mallet. It was a form of "pressure combined with percussion", which is an advanced form of indirect percussion. There is a sketch of the method that was made during the 19th century. It can be found in Moorehead's writings. Anyway, here is the text that accompanies the sketch. I share this because I believe if you combine percussion with this method you may generate even larger blades then these. If so, this could explain places that had a distinctive macroblade industry, but lacked antler tools. I believe that one such industry may be found in Haiti. Anyway, here is the text: "The hunter or trapper described to me the mode still in practice among the remote Indians, of making flakes by lever pressure combined with percussion, that is more philosophical and a better mechanical arrangement than by the use of the flaking staff, as de- scribed by Catlin. They might utilize a standing tree with spreading roots for this purpose ; a flattened root makes a firm seat for the stone, a notch cut into the body of a tree the fulcrum for the lever, either a pointed stick is placed on the point of the stone where the flake is to be split from it, its upper end resting against the under side of the lever, or a bone or horn point let into and secured to the lever takes the place of this stick. When the pressure is brought to bear, by the weight of the operation, on the long end of the lever, a second man with a stone mall, or heavy club strikes a BLOW on the upper side of the lever, directly over the pointed stick or horn-point, and the fiake is thrown off." (Prehistoric relics; an illustrated catalogue describing some eight hundred and fifty different specimens, Warren K. Moorehead)

wunderbar !

Einfach nur der Hammer. Wie kann man das lernen? Wo kriegt man werkzeuge. Habe selber einen grösseren stein bekommen ab keine werkzeuge dafür.

I wonder if the handle was so long as to let it slip through the hand to strike the platform and not as a balance.

While it’s important to lead into the final cuts I think your starting the cuts way to high. You could tighten the cutting zone down a little and make quicker work. Honestly though adzes are much more suited for smaller trees.

Tolles Video. Wo kann man denn in Deutschland günstig an Rohmaterial rankommen?
