Thanks buddy

[@scottmaddox6678]

Enjoy watching your videos you should be in the flintknappers hall of Fame thanks for showing your great skills

[@Bubba4168]

I’m just starting to knap and watching you impressed me immensely. I have a basic idea what you’re doing but to watch you pull that piece out of the fire two or three times, was way beyond what I expected. My hats off to you sir!

[@TheMeneltarma]

Glad you are posting so frequently. I learn so much from watching you. Keep up the good work

[@myBanjohasemgz]

Thanks!

[@nonprooutdoorsandmore2303]

U make it all look so easy, I watched alot of Huntprimitive and where I git my flint and I try "cleanin" the edges and end up with so many step fractures and hinges and struggle workin around them

[@bradkempf5533]

[@lancemcilwainoutcastmetald5398]

Love watching your videos. Nice blade

[@myBanjohasemgz]

I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@Nobody-by5rs]

Yep, it is pretty thin! What do you apply to your finished blades?

[@poly-wogbushcraft8643]

Your awesome. Hope to b as good as u one day.i have trouble getting good stone. 👍.where did u get your aluminum dowels.

[@myBanjohasemgz]

Thanks! I just ordered the aluminum off of ebay. It's 6061 alloy. Then I cut it down to length

[@markgreenley219]

What do you have wrapped around your indirect percussion stick? Some kind of rubber , maybe an inner tube?

[@ro8v28]

Would you agree, that a good deal of your success, is due to a good supply of high quality rock?

[@StevenStacey-d8o]

My man, what happened to you? Don't see any post anymore.. hope your well!

[@buckchaser4725]

Beautiful blade Jason. What advantages did you gain when you switched from an aluminum tip to a copper tip on the indirect?

[@myBanjohasemgz]

Better transfer of power. The aluminum has a lot of give to it, so there is a loss of efficiency. It responds great to some flint and terrible to others.

[@tsink6]

Outstanding work. I know you are proud of your work

[@myBanjohasemgz]

Thank you! I kinda like it lol

[@leonardspalding6990]

You do amazing work!

[@robertmock2843]

Amazing piece.

[@roostercogburn597]

Hello Jason. Did u sell this piece

[@myBanjohasemgz]

Yes sir, it's long gone

[@jamesgibson7114]

What material is your billet made from ?

[@myBanjohasemgz]

It is 6061 solid aluminum

[@benstrelo7805]

Love your vid’s what are you knapping on today

[@myBanjohasemgz]

Nothin so far today lol. Glad ya like the videos!

[@robertrouse1038]

Where can I purchase some of the tab materials? If you don't mind disclosing

[@myBanjohasemgz]

I don't know of any on the market currently. Keith rickwartz possibly might have some, but I don't recall seeing any at the last knap in.

[@jamesgibson7114]

what does the rubber piece around your indirect stick help do?

[@myBanjohasemgz]

It just dampens the blow and reduces shock from the strike

[@brianglover7629]

Very nice work

[@robertcarmansr.204]

Man I sure would love to get some of that material we're can I purchase ?

[@myBanjohasemgz]

I'm not sure if any is on the market. I collected this stuff with a buddy for personal use, and i can't sell it as part of the deal of taking me in.

[@hughswanzy8871]

Thanks for the lesson on tab

[@myBanjohasemgz]

You're welcome!

[@davidperry5631]

This blade doesn’t seem practical for everyday use. I don’t think it would last very long during a butchering process. It’s like hafting a turkey tail and expecting it to remain intact. It is a beautiful blade though. Thanks for sharing.
