Field testing a GLASS arrowhead! Will it BREAK?

[@lonzza9069]

That first shot where it went straight through without breaking really made my jaw drop

[@stefanlindner2348]

thanks Greg - it really was a nice presentation and the "industrial obsidian" head is awesone ! It seems to me a little bit thicker than what I've been used to watch up to know ... I'm reflecting now : giving up a little penetration to win durability is not the worst approach . Regards from Bavaria / Germany

I had no doubt it'll hold up, glass was used by aboriginal from australia (kimberly type) and North America during the contact period and susequent period. It knaps easier than it snaps. Great vid, I'm always enjoying your content !

[@Dav624]

That's a great quote "it knaps easier than it snaps" I'll be taking that one

[@mikesimmons8787]

Very impressive..i wouldn't have guessed it would be so tough.

[@northernohioartifacts9040]

Nice demo! Haven’t tried knapping glass yet, but this makes me want to try. Thanks!

[@phrotojoe]

I made an Obsidian arrowhead and it went right through the target,but thats using a 65lbs. compound bow too.

[@castingtechnology3338]

Great video! You have such a wealth of knowledge. I love your videos, so educational, with useful knowledge.

[@Cobwalker]

Good arrow , I’ve made glass and stone points that go through friends deer and game , you are doing well my friend

[@Cobwalker]

@@theabhorrentchef7226 lol it was the deer not my friend that got the arrow

[@davidwsmith316]

Awesome demonstration! I'm going to try using glass bottles for Flintknapping.

[@latricefunk799]

Greg, that was an amazing display!

[@tommywills4891]

That is actually pretty impressive strength, I would've figured it would have been fine for hide and flesh.

[@Dusty357]

Ah mate that was so cool thanks for doing that, really does go to show how strong these points were as you have probs with your glass arrowhead well done 👍 enjoyed it 🇬🇧😉

[@jimmyjamestreasurehuntinga1512]

My first time here, WOW, that was really good. Who would of thunk, glass!!!!! :-) 👍

[@legacyXplore]

Awesome!

[@juliemaggio1246]

Can you make one from terquoise?

[@kylefessenden3111]

Unfortunately turquoise is not a knappable material. In order to make an arrowhead by knapping, it has to break in a conchoidal manner.

[@gwarrichmond6232]

👍🏼😁👍🏼

[@adamhale8630]

The back looks like it Flys high maybe add some extra weight more fake animal tenden near the back end of the arrow an it might shoot 20 30 yards or so better than it does not like modern day paper tuning

[@rattlerboi4034]

These are illegal for hunting in Arizona cuz they are ``brittle"

[@kylefessenden3111]

send this video to your local representative, then lol

[@madbearproductions8375]

Cool test brother. If you want a thinner profile with the artificial sinew just split the strands. There is usually 3 small strands twisted together. I used to use deer leg sinew and hide glue but its a mess.

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Nice. I’m going to try to learn glass knapping asap. Hope I can get the hang of it. I’ve wanted to learn flint knapping for years but there aren’t any good flint knapping rock naturally in my area (Nova Scotia), so I decided learning to work with glass would be a more practical skill.

[@stonehead6257]

👍👍

[@rust_male8401]

This is really neat.
