Thanks for showing how to do that. I'm a really poor knapper because I haven't put as much time in as I should have, but I think that's something I should work more on, thanks for being a kind teacher.

Will, you made that look almost easy! just awesome to watch! thank you for sharing your hard earned knowledge. I think that some of the differences you see in the quality of artifacts is directly related to the maker of the tool. Taking into consideration the makers skill level, experience and materials available. Where I live we have a lot of quartz arrowheads and tools which is hard to work with. thanks again!

I am a flintknapper from PA and I am surrounded by sandstone. I know that that the flint indigenous to your country is quit hard, is sand stone to soft to grind a preform like that into a neolithic "super tool", if not what is an ideal primitive grinding surface.

Will, I only disagree with one thing, the time period you mentioned about the stone, I myself do not think from evidence that it is a hundred million years old. You do good work, really awsome, thanks for the tips and sharing your knowledge. I began 3yrs ago practicing Making points a nd other relics, it is very rewarding. Keep on knapping friend.

@VintageSlates4 ай бұрын
Old comment I know however Will grew up around grimes graves an area in Norfolk UK with flint from an ancient coral reef proven to be 90+ million years old. So you might be right or wrong by 10 million years either side of 100 million ha.
@jamesfranklin93148 жыл бұрын
those big flakes that you are knapping off are called spaldes correct do you use any of them I mean they have the outter surface still on them but that seems like an lot of waste otherwise

Very well done, i do alil flint knapping and have some videos. I'm a novice and make crude usable tools tho. I can use alot more time and practice in it. I got into it for i'm a bushcrafter and thus I see the importance of primitive tools incase you have none that is modern. I have fell a couple trees with a couple hatchets i made, a great feeling. Check out my channel if you care to. Anyhow wicked nice axe head, but they were able to polish out the flake scars, wow , just with stones , grinding on them for days?
