Nice! I've never been able to find any flint around here, seems like you have some nice stuff though.

I wish there was such nice flint to be found where I live! This was a vacation project in Denmark. The flint in my area is mostly of a much lower quality. Still very useful, but nowhere near as good as baltic sea flint.

Flint is gorgeous. Imagine the absolute grandmasters that made things like Clovis points from this stuff.

Great work!

[@julien_mglhs]

Great work, as always! So glad to see your channel is growing!

Personally I’d say both of your handaxes are very impressive and are beyond Habilis technology.

I’d also say It’s nice that you got the luxury to work with flint, as a self taught knapper myself I wish this resource was common where I live. Instead of flint I have lots of experience working with finer grained basalts with some even being comparable to flint if you go to Montana (some specimens even ring like a bell when struck!).

And as a final note if you want to gain more flint knapping knowledge I’d highly recommend watching Will Lord’s videos, he’s been doing it for 50+ years and is a master at his art.
