Stone Knives for Beginners and EDC

[@cretudavid8622]

Your work is verry impressive and you inspired thousands of people to join the primitive world(including me)... Thank you!

[@huntprimitive9918]

thank you very much both for the kind words and for following along

Same. I got into the survival/primitively world cuz of rise of the planet of the apes

[@nomadicneanderthal1377]

Since finding your channel, I have now made my first set of points and first knife and am full on addicted now. Thanks for the quality videos Ryan!

excellent, thanks much for following along

you still into it? im just now getting into it after i recently got into finding cool sticks

[@sumpfhuhn7266]

I'm from Germany and right now the knife law is in discussion (they want to make every blade over 6 cm/2.4 inches illegal) and out of curiosity I was thinking about how it would handle flint knives. I'm so glad this stupid thought brought me to this channel because it is actually really interesting and this community seems to be really nice. :)

[@RubberTramping]

I would love to see you make a folding stone age knife that would be amazing! Maybe with antler scales 😀

[@gsnicholas8522]

Sumit Or Nothing Paleoman52 has a couple videos of this

[@milostout6619]

I love modern tech, and I always find myself getting excited about the next big thing. But I love to spend time outdoors and I find making things myself just to be so much more satisfying. I'm only fourteen, but someday I hope to earn enough money to buy a couple acres of land close to a city, so that I could have a space with no modern tech and just pure nature.

make a modern kydex sheath if you want to EDC stone knives. seen some people do it, having a fixed blade steel knife and a stone knife side by side in kydex sheaths as those don't down down or get under you. mind you it was butchers that did this as they just liked stone and obsidian knives more for skinning and scraping.

[@hamsti4791]

Your videos are super useful since there aren't many channels with such quality and detail in the subject

[@huntprimitive9918]

Glad you like them! and thanks for following along

[@joeyfragile2330]

So glad I came across this channel. I love the simple joy you share, and generous sharing of these methods. I'm very much into the "native indigenous white man" area of research, esp in view of current times, as I believe it's a very little known and barely taught if at all to the upcoming generations. I'm one who believes survival and bushcraft is a very pacifying and unifying hobby that can heal all kinds of society hurts. Each culture can teach others their own unique survival skills in their own environments, and I support greatly this channel as being part of the ancient European (yes even tho you're in the US!) indigenous bushcrafting and survival skills. It's amazing how our forefathers were able to use this gear to take down the giant ice age big game of their time! I just wish here in the UK we would be permitted bow and spear hunting. It's crazy that we can go out with an air rifle which is not guaranteed at all to bring down the game like a good hit with a decent poundage bow and arrow would. We have some mixed up people making the hunting laws here!

[@jackp492]

I agree I feel here in the UK we never went away from the old no hunting deer in the kings forest, like you can hunt but you need to be rich, own a house you can install a safe into, be in a social group that owns large quantities of land with animals, and I can't go bag a muntjac or fish with a net even though private companies can go scrape the channel pair trawling, it's a joke

[@jackp492]

Although it's probably because if most of the population is in the cities they're not gona care about reform, and all they hear about with hunting is the fox hunt they're only presented with a self indulgent and controversial image of hunting

[@flinteyesonofsun614]

@@jackp492 fr omg it’s actually disgusting here in England they can chop down whole woods for logging n agricultural fields but I can’t chop 1 tree for a bow truly a shame

[@jackp492]

@@flinteyesonofsun614 I say just go do it fella, or better yet, look in the hedgrows for ash, it grows nice and straight to get up through the brambles and hawthorn and nettles and such, go knock at the house of the place that owns the otherside of the hedgrow, they'll probably be bemused at your request but unlikely to refuse it. Ive softened on my views expressed in my earlier comments, we have all inherited this whack system, and people are not charitable to a nebulous other group mentality, one to one though, almost everyone you come across is amenable, just like you are.

[@petergriffin680]

I love this stuff for some reason. Thinking about making one of these and possibly a bow.

[@fireandmugs6712]

Skip to 5:17 if you just want to learn how to make the knife, and don't want to hear the whole spiel about their history and uses and suitability in the modern world. You're welcome.

[@colejackz]

People call this “primitive” but whats more advanced: Creating your own blade from the earth with your hands? Or walking into a store and buying a knife? We are made in the image of the Almighty God! 🙏

[@drivethelightning]

Does your archeologist buddy you talk about have a channel for more of the history side? Eating this pizza watching this makes me wanna build a stone pizza cutter 😏

[@melgillham462]

I've just found interest in kidnapping, and I have a lot to catch up on, I'm curious, how does it perform as a skinner, aka cutting hide. Of course, I haven't seen a skinning video yet, and not sure yt would allow such.

[@bradyoutdoors6753]

Definitely going to pick up a copper flaker to sharpen my stone knife

[@downriveroutdoors7755]

“Now it’s sharp” *drags across hand* I probably just don’t have a proper understanding of it, but that seemed like it should have cut you lol

Do you have a preference for single or double edged stone knives? It seems that double side is the default for stone knives and i was curious if there was a practical purpose over that as compared to a single.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on how the corner tang knife was hafted. If hafted at all. One of my favorite theories is that it was tethered to a piece of cordage. Tied at the tang to the wrist. Any thoughts on this?

Yeah a lot of people are unfamiliar with the use of stone tools. An tend to over look the purpose on why they were made. Which was to butcher meat and process softer materials like plants

Now comes the question of where I can get some obsidian that’s big enough to make a knife.

[@RoxnDox]

Northern Cali around Mt Shasta and Lassen Peak, central Oregon are good areas to get some.

[@yasa108]

where do you find obsidian

[@DougKnechtelArt]

Great video. I really have no idea what I’m getting into here, but I bought a knife at an antique store ‘cuz it looked cool and the price was right. I can send you pictures if you like, but the distinguishing characteristic of the piece is that it’s a translucent amber color stone with areas that are red. Initially I thought the red was painted on, but held to the light you can see that the color runs through it. Do you happen to know what I’ve got here?

[@BLUFFLUCIFER]

Which type of rock this is

[@denisestarr2314]

I am going to try and build one . I have some antler sheds , and some Obsidian and heat treated novaculite . I will also do a leather sheath . I've been working on a hickory bow , it's all cut out. Drying , I'm excited . A great hobby.

[@JusttJackk]

I honestly love your channel hunting making primitive bow and arrows making primitive stoneage knives and tools i love primitive type stuff like the stoneage also the primitive stoneage knives reminds me of ötzi the icemans knife im not gonna kie i have ordered the condor otzi neck knife only because its the icemans knife replica

[@creaturefpv]

How do you spot the stone that you can work into a knife? And have you ever been able to sharpen it with another stone? I'm trying not to buy the tools I need but make them but I don't hunt so idk how I'd come across some antler. Thx for the video.

If you are speaking of absolute sharpness, obsidian is highly superior to steel today. Just not nearly as durable.

[@abbyfiumefreddo6394]

Can you make a video on how to make a sheath

[@MrTacklebury]

Should make sure that people know that knapping should only be done outdoors or with a vacuum shroud. Can cause lung issues with small bits as my friend found out. Carving on bone/antler also should be done in an outdoor area with good air flow or with vacuum.

[@flinteyesonofsun614]

Have you ever experimented with slate or shale for blades or arrowheads? Seems like it could be a decent alternative.I believe the Inuit frequently used slate For tools.

[@gsnicholas8522]

Cameron Pain shale and slate won’t work for knapping. They’re layered, not homogeneous like chert.

[@cameronpain1422]

@@gsnicholas8522 Yeah your right. The way you make tools from slate/shale is grinding on a abrasive material like sandstone.

definitely more of a grinding material. I have a buddy in the North west that does slate grinding

Chopping with a metal knife isn't a good idea either, if you want to keep a good sharp edge. Thin metal edge bends pretty easy. I'm always ready to learn and you do a good job teaching. Thanks.
