Flint Knapping Buffalo River Bullseye

[@BM205]

Awesome work! Ive knapped alot of stone but my favorite will always be a good piece of buffalo river chert.A five gallon bucket of it started me on my flintknapping journey 15+ years ago and I always come back to it

Edbo....I love to watch you work your magic ....what a gift....Hi Scoby

[@EDBO23]

Thank you for your support and feedback!

[@johnmoreland8706]

thats the biggest bopper ive seen so far..its a slammer..lovely piece of stone..

[@EDBO23]

I bought mine at the Old Stone Fort Knap-in in Manchester TN.

[@cplrey]

Ed: Outstanding as always. I hope you will do a followup video showing what you do with that beautiful piece of rock! Rey in Ohio

[@EDBO23]

It is heat treated but not soft. With good edge prep and bopper you don't need to hit it really hard...

[@HeadlessChickken]

Can't watch it seeing how lightheartedly he treats those beautiful and perfectly usable "waste" flakes of stone by dropping them on the ground and shattering to pieces... Sorry for the comment but I have no slightest chance to find any of such great quality material here where I live. Yeah, I'm bloody jelly. TC

[@HeadlessChickken]

The sound.....

[@grzegorzbrzeczyszykiewic3338]

im pretty sure that he just has them on a pile and that he'll just use them later

[@pestleman1951]

Man you make that look entirely too easy.I've never tried a monster bopper like that. I need to .Thank you for an excellent vid. I'm going to send you one of mine on artifact knapping tools I've found. I have found some surprising stuff.
