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!!!

Jesse I dont know what it is but one day I was pressure flaking and I was shooting flakes clear across the blade.  I was able to do the same on both sides / parallel flaking ,  and thinning stacks and being able to remove steps and hinges with comfort.  I for some reason dont like the small peices of flint anymore and look for to make larger thin blades.  Thanks for your comments I appreciate the vote of confidents.
