How to Reduce Tabs: A SLOW Flint-Knapping Tutorial!

This isn’t a “spalling” video per-say since my goal isn’t to remove nice sized spalls. But rather, I intend to show how to MAXIMIZE the length and width of your blade. Hope this helps!

I’ve seen your seuff for the first time. First if all, epic opening line. :) But more importantly, your confidence is as impressive as that of Freeze Cracked. Your explanations are also to the point. Greetings from Hungary.

Very informative and clear. I love how you kept tying your overall view of the future point as you strategized with us. Can you please share the finished blade with us in a part 2???

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Can’t decide what’s more impressive; your skill, that rock, or your monster copper hammer. Phenomenal video, thanks!

I really enjoyed your description of making platforms, especially when you hit straight down (

Since I've found your channel and watched videos over and over, my direct percussion has improved greatly. Glad I found your channel.

Excellent job getting the most out of that amoeba. Also great job videoing and explaining how and why you approached the different edge scenarios.

[@DVadventures]

Love watching you work. Seems effortless but I know you’re thinking it through the whole time!

[@Primal-Revival]

Thanks for the video it was very informative and I love the flint you were working with.

[@Ratel90Gunner]

Thanks for the instruction! And a big "Good Boy!" for Pete.

[@Longing4theWoods]

Honestly, just started out this hobby and this helped huge. I was flaking all around instead of sides in to keep the length. Thanks!

Real Time is fine & how I learn!

[@BryanKoenig379]

This was an excellent video. I can see what you're doing very well and I think the color of the rock is easier to see

Excellent video! I love knapping, but I don't get to do very much any more (I spend too much time on my opal channel). You've got it together, that's for sure! I love that material - is that the same as what you called "Georgia jasper?" I have a small tip for you ... you might try an aluminum oxide abrader. (works the same was silicon carbide, but puts no silica in the air. It's minor, but ... as a doctor, I feel obligated to mention it) Keep up the great work!!

I like watching a Master or Journeyman Knapper… sometimes I even learn something.

[@kevinlong188]

That would have made an awesome rock to point video! You gotta post the rest of that build, all the way to the end 👍
