Thank you I really appreciate it. That is my goal hopefully I can make better and better content.

I’m guessing it’s rawhide but not sure

@@bracoop2 I used whitetail deer rawhide strips

@@bracoop2 thanks man I appreciate it

Thanks man I'm super pleased with it

@@North_Florida_Knapping I'm bit a very creative person. I would have never thought of using a bone like that. Makes me want to try to make one too.

@Tradbow85 ostrich leg bone. You can order them online or possible get them at you local pet store. They need lots of prep though. Very greasy.

A low boil could help clean the marrow out but not too hot or it will damage the bone integrity

Sorry about that still learning how to film this. Try my latest video and see if that angle is a little better. Thanks for your feedback.

What lake lol 😆 asking for a friend lol

@@Wildernessquestoutdoors got it thanks that's a good ways from me south I appreciate it lol

Yes all our rocks are different I took this to around 450 and it works well but could probably go as high as 550 safely. Although some of our chert and coral is borderline unworkable below about 600.

​@@North_Florida_Knappingthis stuff I have is from million souls mine. It's so beautiful and the stuff you have is beautiful. Very nice point bud.

Me neither but it seems to be good quality and has nice colors. Glad you enjoyed the video.

@genegorringe7395 thank you much appreciated

Thank you sir

I just couldn't stand it. It was really thin except that spot. It would have made me crazy to leave it 😆.

Yes I have watched him. I could only dream of being that good especially with abo tools.

@lewiswilliams2907 go buy an ostrich leg bone I'll haft it too that and make a video. You can get them at pets mart lol 😆

@@North_Florida_Knapping alright but imma order one the hell with going into the zoo.

Thanks much appreciated. There is a full video making it up now if you are interested

@@North_Florida_Knapping Awesome, I’ll give it a look

This is raw it. Heated pretty hot it will turn a beautiful red color but becomes extremely fragile. In the raw state it does not tolerate mistakes very well.

Thanks that's good news

No sir I got this from Jeremy Cook over on Facebook he was running a deal on it. I've never knapped it but I really like it.

@@North_Florida_Knapping ive seen Jeremy have some nice stuff before. Never bought from him yet.

@RedEyedPatriot he had this on sale. I think it was 75 shipped for a large flat rate. That was a week or so ago, but maybe check with him. It's not a bad deal

Sorry about that I think I've made some improvements on other videos.

Thank you very much glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully more to come soon

Thanks please check put my channel for more flint knapping content.

@@North_Florida_Knapping I already have been for a while bud. Just subbed👍 Please feel free to check out my stuff too. Everything on it is old now and I've moved on a fair bit I think. Will post up a whole stack of my newest work soon. I'm about 40 miles from London in England so all English flint work. Thanks for replying.

@scottlaugher-flintknapping awesome I really appreciate and I did check out your stuff as well that clear english flint is amazing might have to do some trading sometime. Also, you sound like Will Lord must be from the same part of England?

Thanks much appreciated.

Thanks I'm glad you liked it

Thanks it turned out pretty good. I appreciate it

You may be better off buying some off of the internet. Check out a website called neolithics.

I live in central fla

It's best to order it off the internet. There is a website called neolithics that will have everything you need.

Check out the rest of the channel if you haven't already there is a two part series of the build process of this knife.

Thanks man I appreciate it I'm happy to even get here it's going better than I expected. Thanks for your continued support

Thank you much appreciated

Thanks for your support

Congratulations @tradbow85 please message me on Instagram so we can set up shipping. My Instagram is @north_florida_knapping. If this doesn't work for you let me know

@@North_Florida_Knapping No way! Thank you getting on Insta now

@@North_Florida_Knapping I can't seem to find you. Mine is tossin_stone_flintknapping

Thanks man. I checked out you channel good work. The views will come stick with it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you are enjoying the channel. Thanks for your support.

Thanks man I appreciate that I stopped using them because I thought maybe it didn't work I got back to doing that

@@North_Florida_Knapping well if someone types in Flintknapping. The algorithm searches the title first, then checks the description for key words. It can't hurt for sure.

Awesome good to know man I always appreciate the feed back I wondered why some videos do so much better than others maybe that's why.

Thanks I really appreciate it I have been knapping off and on since I was about 12 (Im 27 now) but got more serious a few years back.

@@North_Florida_Knapping nice! I've been Knapping since I was 13, and I just turned 15 a few months ago!

Awesome man now is the best time to get good before you have a job and life gets in the way lol 😆

@@North_Florida_Knapping sure is!

I've been meaning to do something different. The horseshoe nail has to go. I'll give that a try I need to be able to put more force into the notches.

@@North_Florida_Knapping i saw a Feller take a copper pipe and hammer flat one end a couple inches down and used it to notch. Worked great I plan to make one. Also can look up the NotchOMatic. Its a spring loaded thing. I won one from Danny Collins Lithics and Leather on a giveaway.

I love it myself wonderful stuff. It's the best of flint and obsidian together in one.

Yes, this is close to what I did in this heat, but I tried an insulated lid, and I think I pushed it too hot, honestly. Although some stuff turned out good. I hope to revisit this in a future video. Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you. I watch your channel as well, so that means something coming from someone like you with an already successful channel. I'm glad you liked it. Hopefully, more content to come soon.

Thank you sir I appreciate it

Absolutely, I use bone often, especially white tail leg bone . The wrappings pretty much are for show , though they will keep the point in something like an arrow if the haft come loose

Yes most of what we find in florida are triangular and no more than an 1" long and 3/8 wide.

Thanks man glad you liked it

Sometimes they do, but sometimes they stay together, either was it would not be fun.

Yes unfortunately the finger tip is the spot that gets cut the most 😕 so it would actually be better to have just the tips and some tape or something I've seen that method in the past.

@@North_Florida_Knapping I was judging based on the way you're holding that edge against the lower portion of your fingers where tendons are not very deep. Severed one years ago. The reason I often do not use gloves is so I have that tactile feel at my fingertips. Figured you were doing it for the same reason.

Yes and no I'm basically putting pressure against the back to support the flake. The area that resting against my palm or base of my fingers isn't the scary sharp part. The flakes that are being removed that I support with my fingertips are. I'm not saying you shouldn't wear gloves it's just hard for me personally. I've never cut a tendon, though, and I hope that never happens. Although I definitely see how it could. Although the tactile feel is exactly why I don't wear gloves. Thanks for the insight. I hope you enjoy the videos. Did you sever your tendon knapping?

@@North_Florida_Knapping No, foolishly loading spiral ductwork into a work van without gloves. Double foolish because I was chatting and holding the pipe by the end where it is especially sharp. It caught on something in the van and chonked into my finger like a cookie cutter. Luckily it's a ring finger so it not being able to close the tip when making a fist isn't too bothersome. No feeling though and thought it would be numb for the rest of my life. Fortunately, the nerves somehow found a way to reconnect after a few years and feels perfectly normal now. The body is amazing.

Thank you sir much appreciated

Thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the subscription. Hopefully more content to come.

Gilchrist county on the suwannee river

@@North_Florida_Knapping nice I’m in Cottondale north of Panama City

Oh yeah that's a nice area I'm more north central florida but we try not to be associated with that mess just a few hours south 😅

Thank you much appreciated
