Dave, those are awesome! It just amazes me that you knappers can take a rock and do that by hand.

Thick or thin, they would still take down a deer. I'm envious of you who know how to do this. Nice points

Thanks guys! Tanya - The art of knapping is so cool to study and learn. It's kind of similar to cutting and cabbing in that you start with the rough piece and find suprises along the way that make the finished piece have a kind of character to it - no two are ever the same. I am so happy to have that Flint Ridge stone to work with - it's awesome material. I know I'll be going back for sure now!!
