Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

I've tried slabbing it and then pressure flaking a point. You better have some massive arm and shoulder muscles. :o
I think I can manage to at least break it. I've got forearms like Popeye ;D
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.
