That's an incredibly beautiful dagger Will, I was wondering about 2 things that I'm sure you could answer, 1) Does the different marine life that formed the flint make a marked difference to the quality and hardness 2) Can you identify other flint knappers work, as in can you see a finished piece and know it was made by a particular flint knapper, this was a fascinating vid man, Bravo!

Hey Will! Do you have any experience researching North American flint knapping or Have you ever looked into a U.S.A trip? We have some challenging materials but Native American Ingenuity created some astonishing styles of knapping. I’d love to hear your thoughts/experience with it. Your patience and attitude is something every knapper can aspire to. 🤘🏼 Be well Friend!

I’m so glad I’ve found your channel, Ive recently fallen in love with making things from real natural materials. Materials such as bamboo, wood, shell, bone and antler are my favorite to work with

From the scars on your hands, I see the flint gods require a blood sacrifice from time to time. A good recovery from the ashes.

I don't know how taxes are paid in the UK , but here in the US , you could subtract a portion of the cost of your trip as business expenses against your earned income . I always enjoy watching craftsman make things.

Great Video Will, thanks for sharing. It was looking like a Solutrean Blade, thin and pinpointed. Stay safe and I cannot wait to see your trip, hug Maude for me. Peace
