Incredible!!!!!! Can't wait to see them all !

[@jeffkinslow2529]

Very nice work Ken.

[@russcalabrese7561]

Very enjoyable and informative. Thank you.

[@lairdhaynes1986]

Excellent! As a knapper of quartz, I like that you have that little triangle in there with all those big magnificent points. Thanks for sharing!

[@Ateesh6782]

No turtleback on the turtle tho! :) (Sorry, couldn’t resist.) Mad respect!

[@jonmurphy5428]

Beautiful work!

[@bill3288]

I certainly did make it to the end. Enjoyed seeing your extraordinary work and appreciated the descriptions!

[@donaldscott7279]

You were born 3 or 4 thousand years to late. I really like that Clovis point .

[@Paleoman52]

I often feel the same way, that Clovis is a real favorite of mine, I don't make many of those and this one came out just the way I had hoped it would.

[@baitammo4652]

I really enjoyed looking at your beautiful work Ken! That gray Graham Cave is one of my favorites. Of coarse it is second to the Snyders that sits in my case! I still enjoy it and the knife that you made!!

[@cabelly27]

I love how you did the two tone background on your case it looks great. Awesome points mate you are a master of this art.

[@joshfung2131]

Lets go!! Another keeper case vid!

[@Paleoman52]

I have some really good ones coming up, so stay tuned and thanks!

[@ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday]

I love seeing your work. Thanks for sharing.

[@Paleoman52]

Thanks Shawn, I love watching your videos and in my mancave I have a note that you wrote to me when you sent me a bunch of obsidian to knap. I have it proudly displayed and I even still have a nice piece of Burns green obsidian that you sent. I'd love to meet you one day if you ever make it out my way. Thanks so much for your comments and for all the awesome videos that you produce!

[@ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday]

@@Paleoman52 Thanks. I will let you know the next time I am in your part of the country. I would love to see the man cave in person.

[@jeffwagner6123]

Most impressive. Nice work Ken.

[@mikesimmons8787]

Awesome collection! We have alot of Onondaga and normanskill in NEPA. I was able to figure that out from watching one of ur vids. Showing how the limestone leeches out.

[@antlerzflintfinder268]

Absolutely Amazing knapping Paleoman52! That Hopewell next to that Thebes is killer!! 🙌🔥🔥🔥

[@Paleoman52]

Yeh, I forgot to mention them, but there really wasn't a special story that I could remember connected to them. They are definitely a couple of favorites of mine. Thanks for your great comments!

[@guyhummel2847]

Very nice!

[@straubdavid9]

Flintridge material is just gorgeous in my opinion. I don't have any whole artifacts made of it, but I cherish all of the broken pieces, which are very few and far between. My brother found a nice chunk of it in a field along the Susquehanna River about 15 years ago. It was the first time I'd seen that material. Love the Susquehanna Broad .... that's a beauty. A lot of them down here in PA are made of rhyolite. Perkiomen points like that are found a lot in south central PA as well. Most of them that I have seen at artifact shows are made of jasper. Wow, just wow .... what can I say about Knife River flint! I have part of a knife that I found in eastern Montana made of it. It is one of my favorite lithics .... I just love that root beer color. Thanks for the vid Ken. I'm sure I've seen some of these points before, but a lot of water has flowed under the bridge, so it's nice to see them all again. Take care as always✌🏻

[@CalvinsCorner72]

Great work. We are just keepers of these things we make or find. Thanks for sharing and telling the stories.

[@Paleoman52]

Thanks for your comments Calvin, always great to hear from you.

[@commissionertom]

Great to see a video from our favorite knapper. Thanks for the show and tell. Looking forward to the series.

[@Paleoman52]

Hi Tom, thanks for the comments. I love watching your videos and I hope you have a good year of finding.

[@musicmanhotrod]

Ok...1st of all...that Hardin!!😯 Always enjoy seeing ur creations Ken...pure mastery. I can understand why u'd want to keep those beauties for urself. I need to get a big Etly from ya to go with my collection of ur points...and a few others of course...Lol! Thanx for sharin' ur art...can't wait for the next installment. Take care my friend...✌🏼😎

[@Paleoman52]

Hi Hal, if I get another Etley made it will be yours.

[@rodgerklindt3165]

Finally getting the hang of it. Hopefully see you at the spring knapin.

[@Paleoman52]

I'll be looking forward to seeing you Rodger.

[@Swamp-Fox]

You are an amazing knapper! All of those points are absolutely beautiful! Learning to knap is on my bucket list. Can't wait to see the next keeper case video!

[@nwmowalleye76]

Very nice Mr. Wallace it not hard to see why those are all in your keeper case. All perfect examples you are a perfectionist Ken!!! Very Nice Work my friend

[@Paleoman52]

Thanks! I have a really special keeper case video coming up soon.

[@nwmowalleye76]

@@Paleoman52 Ken, I can’t wait to see the Really Keeper case it must be Really nice. I’ll be watching for it.

[@FlintSpall]

Well after watching this video I've determined we have something in common.Not because I attempt smacking on rocks but I have a Paleoman 52 keeper case too.:>) And I'll keep em for a lifetime.Always enjoy seeing things in your keeper cases and the commentary that accompanies.

[@Paleoman52]

I can't remember how many points I sent to you but I do remember sending a couple with long needle tips. That point you found is still one of the greatest finds I've ever seen. Thanks for chiming in my friend, I think of you often.

[@Wildernessquestoutdoors]

I see that normanskill ;) I need a point from you, man. Got a “favorite knappers” case going on here.

[@captainflint89]

i knew you would be eyeing that rock up ! actually looked for your comment haha

[@Wildernessquestoutdoors]

@@captainflint89 bahahaha

[@ftownpoints638]

All beautiful and very well made pieces sir. I would love to get a point made by you to use for Mushroom hunting, not from your keepers of course. Idk if you even make knives from your points. But a sweet Snyder knife would be awesome. Or even a Hardin knife. Your work is absolutely amazing , i love your points and would love to own one. My favorite from your keepers case would have to be the huge etley.

[@RedEyedPatriot]

I've just started knapping myself. I hope to knapp as well as you and others. In maybe 20 years 🤣😎🏹

[@davidn1369]

Very impressive! Have you ever dreamed of being teleported back in time 7000 years to compare notes?

[@Paleoman52]

I have that dream all the time, especially when I am out on a field searching for artifacts. Sometimes I stop and look around me and try to picture what this place looked like when those early people lived here. The sights and the sounds must have been amazing. I figure that I would have a job back then seeing that I am a knapper, LOL!

[@davelink1318]

I can't pick up any one of my artifacts and not wonder what that person was like, it must have been a hard life, especially for the paleo !!!

[@robertgriffin545]

Are you still knapping?

[@Paleoman52]

Yes, but not as much as I used to knap. I have made a few keeper case worthy points this year.

[@OntheTrailwithDale]

Very impressive Ken. Absolutely love the flaking and how paper thin you got those points. When you’re knapping do you ever find it hard to know when a point is done? If I could knap as good as you I’d be just one more flake, just one more flake. The points I got from you are front and center on my shelf and I look at them often. Thanks again Ken, I’ve really enjoyed your videos and friendship over the years. Enjoy this unusual winter weather while you can man! Take care
