Ryan Gill flint knaps an obsidian knife blade. It starts by knocking a large spall off of a nodule and then he works through piece of rock to reveal a beautiful blade.
If you are in need of any flint knapping supplies, we have you covered over at HuntPrimitive, where we are working hard to help you reach all your primitive building/hunting goals.

The flintknapping for beginners video is also found on the page of the link listed above. Happy Knapping!

The thing that makes Obsidian so sharp is that when it flakes, it does so on the molecular level. So the edge is actually 1 micron thick. It is the sharpest edge you can get, so much so that surgeons still use Obsidian scalpels for the finest surgery.

To do this without eye protection seems crazy. Just one micro flake into the eye and it could mean your sight. My favorite shop teacher would always day: "Unless you have a spare set of eyeballs in your pocket...PUT YOUR SAFETY GLASSES ON!" Saftey glasses have saved my eyes twice in my life. Each to his own.

First vid of yours I've seen and I'm pretty excited. After 30 years of interest but never really making something decent. I've finally started knapping some points. I'm a hands on learner and I just couldn't pick it up from books or fooling around with it. Took a class a few weeks ago and I have some decent points now that would actually take a deer. Been bowhunting for 25 years with modern equipment and my ultimate goal is to take a deer with a bow and arrows that I made myself. Think I found the right chanel for me! Than you for making this kind of content!!!!

As a life long coal miner with black lung I absolutely agree with you. Perhaps surprising, but when I cut and dress walling stone, I don't wear a mask but do establish a strong cross draft using one, or sometimes two, fairly strong fans [one pushing one pulling] This is very effective at clearing dust from the work area. A am heavily bearded and masks just don't get a good seal.

As a youngster living near the Cimarron river basin in southwest Kansas, we would go out in the dunes after a windstorm and always find points. One time we found a fire ring with blackened rocks and charcoal. Watching one being made is pretty amazing. (Some chert, a lot of butterscotch pudding points, and some flint. The most impressive were the tiny bird points with the narrow waist.) This was an amazing video. Thanks so much for your trouble.

The benefits of being a persistent perfectionist! Not every knapper can make such a beautiful arrowhead. Obsidian is beautiful. In Missouri we have multi-colored chert, SiO2 (quartz) which can be white and pink, white, pink and blue, and variants of brown, depending on the location. It's on the ground where I live, but weathering makes it brittle and useless, so one has to dig for good stuff. I have heard the Osage (and other) Indians used to heat the stone, making it more malleable but I haven't verified it. Surgeons have used obsidian blades as an experiment; magnified, steel looks like it is full of imperfections, but obsidian is smooth!

I agree with your logic when it comes to copper vs antler. I started out the same way and made the switch to copper around 2010. You have to tune out the trolls who try to shame you about your choice of tools. Good material is very expensive now and I don't have near the amount of waste and broken pieces as I did with the antler. The benefits for one's own health, as you mentioned, are enough motivation to continue with the tools you now use. I still do an ABO piece once in a while, when someone requests it, but for everyday knapping copper is the best option for me. Thanks for sharing a great video!

I'm not a knapper, but, the subject came up once when I was talking with friends at work. One young lady couldn't understand how a rock could become sharp enough to cut anything with. I asked her to wait a minute and went out back and picked up a couple of rocks from the drive, and then showed them to her. I took the long pointed one and smacked the other once and got a thumb sized piece off of it. As we used stretch wrap to wrap our product with I went to a pallet that was wrapped up and, with no resistance, sliced the stretch wrap in one swipe. She was properly impressed!
