I am posting to say Thank You. In the 90s, I was a partner in a Survival School in Northern New York (Now closed), I worked for the NYS OCFS as an outdoor leader, Wilderness Challenge for six years (no, we did not teach them these skills). I have a degree in Anthropology. I'm a US Navy Vet., I have been studying, playing, and working with flint knapping for over two decades. Your Video (The DVD) taught me more than all the years, people, and events (Sitting on the blue tarp with the experts) that I have learned from. Anyone. Anyone wishing to learn as a beginner or improve their flint knapping ability needs this DVD. Thank you So much from a grateful flint knapper. "Uga Booga" Best DVD I ever purchased.

I’ve been watching your videos for several weeks now and you have taught me so many techniques that I never even dreamed of back in the nineties when I was trying to self teach this art. After many frustrating months I gave up trying for the thin perfect point and quit altogether. Thanks for sparking my interest again and providing me with some new mental tools.

Yeah too bad we didnt have these videos back then. In the mid 90s, around 10 to 13 years old, i got to where i could make it look like an arrow head but it would be too thick and asymmetrical. I just have to make/procure some tools and i will be trying again to make a nice arrow head.

Yes. I place the flaker on a strong, abraded place on the edge. But not too strong. The platform should not block the force of the strike.

Can anyone tell me what type of flint that is and where it comes from? Did it alter its color because it was heat treated? My father gave me a arrowhead he had found down in Harrison County Ohio that looks exactly like that material. The notches go in and upward towards the tip of the point and it is beveled basically on the top side and flat on the bottom. Would love to know more about my point! Thanks everybody if you can help.
@KnapperJackCrafty6 жыл бұрын
This material in the video is from Texas and no, this particular type of stone doesn't change color when heated. Your arrowhead sounds like a "Lost Lake" point made from "hornstone". www.projectilepoints.net/Points/Lost_Lake.html

I don't think that anyone would bother that much for one arrow tip in the stone age. It will break anyway when you shoot it the first time. I would do something less time consuming, 7:19 it's good enough. But it's interesting to watch how you can make it into so much more than a expandable arrow tip. That's art actually. Unless you want it as a necklace for one of your stone age women, you shouldn't bother. Kudos!
