Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy both the knapping and the educational bit!

Michael Bradshaw haha yeah I mouthed a few choice words at that point

Trust me, it’s probably what I struggle with the most! I know a number of flintknappers whose notches blow me away

Paleoman52 thank you! It’s wonderful material to work

Jonathan V. Thank you

Thanks!

To address that, a Snyder’s point the size of what I made would definitely be a knife and not a projectile. Snyder’s that are much smaller, in the 2 inch range, are the size that would have been used as projectiles. So same style of tools, different function based on size.

@@pathwaysofthepast well that makes more sense, but I'm left a little disappointed. I was looking forward to a video of you hafting that monster and sending it down range. For science. I appreciate that you include your references. I have hours of good reading ahead of me.

I’d love to do some atlatl testing of some points, that would be fun. You know, for science. Glad someone appreciates the sources!

Well Ben, it’s important to set up your platforms well where you are striking to remove a flake. If the edge is too thin, use your pressure flaker to trim it and make the platform a bit thicker. And make sure you abrade your platform too. Since you’re using a copper bopper, abrade even more than you see me doing in my videos with antler. Hope that helps!

Ok thanks

A raw stone flake feels like it has a rougher edge than a knife. Not duller just rougher. More grabby maybe? But a stone knife with a serrated edge will most likely require more force to cut.

Haha nope! Lake Superior, superior because it doesn’t have salt or sharks!

Haha thanks man! I appreciate that. Oh yeah there’s a lot I can’t make, I can make a list for you if you want lol

@@pathwaysofthepast I love your work and technique my friend, I'd be cool to get to knapp with you and learn more from you. That's why I watch your video's, and for all the other information you have on every point you knapp. Always looking for your next video.
