Mr crafty is on another planet when it comes making these amazing pieces of functional deadly art !! he is one of the few MASTER NAPPERS !!! out there .
That lil sucker came out very nice! I have a nasty habit of picking up native flakes while arrowhead hunting, LOL. Especially flakes that have some size or nice color to them. Gonna have to try this! Thanks for another great video!!
I have a BUNCH of thin little fakes and didn’t know if I could actually make a nice point with flake scars all the way across but you absolutely nailed it in this video, thank you for sharing with us, I’ll have to try this
Nice video. I like the close up work. No commentary is fine when you have a good camera. I've watched a lot of your vids and this is some good video coverage of what you are doing. Thank you.
Those lil guys sure are hard to hold on to I have issues holding them with my large hands but I love the way this turned out very nice point I have been having issues thinning my points I just knapping again after twenty plus years and seem to have forgotten how to run a good thinning flake lol
Yep, forgetting how to run those good flakes happens to me too and it doesn't take 20 years... more like 20 days. And I use to have trouble holding on to these small ones until I stopped using really tough stone. I only knap the best stuff when I make the small ones.
It's amazing to me how perfect it came out. Is using a metal tool considered cheating? Did you ever try putting one of these tips in an arrow and shooting it?
As far a I know, there's no proof that shark teeth were used for arrowheads but I'm sure they were. There is proof that they were used for barbs on war clubs and fishing spears.
Yes, that's aluminum. And I do prefer aluminum because of its cost. Copper is very effective and I will use it for "showy" or precise flaking sometimes.
beautiful, one day if i practice enough i might be as good as you maybe even better but thats highly unlikely its most likely as good or not as good i doubt i could surpass your amazing skills, if you do any hunting and still have that arrowhead id like to see a video of you shootin somethin with it if not thats fine i just wanna see how effective one of those would be since i heard small points can kill but i havent seen anything that small get shot yet. atleast you should try shooting a practice target to show off the penetration
So you basically use the same tools in antler than aluminium? Meaning the diameter of the tips and the "nails"... I will like to stick with the ancient tools, but I have a problem in finding good quality and affordable deer antlers, also, they last shorter, specially if you use tiny tools! Great video, by the way!
Metal tools were not available to the Indian Tribes to help them shape their arrow heads historically. I imagine they could not produce as finely detailed finished arrowhead as you did in this demonstration.?
In the historic period, after contact with Europeans and others, metal tools were available to Indians who chose to continue producing stone points. In the prehistoric period, native copper was available to a large number of Indians and was used for things like beads, awls, ceremonial masks, axe heads, and many other items. But regardless, I will show in future videos that metal is not needed for such detail.
Was anyone else thinking of yelling at the screen; “Stop picking at it!”
Beautiful little gem!
Yep. Me. I pick too much.
@@KnapperJackCrafty when you went back for more after notching!!!
Except it kept getting better. That little arrowhead is like a piece of jewelry.

Your attention to symmetry and detail are astounding. Thank you!
Thank you.

Yep, I've seen many flakes like this one on old Indian sites. I'm sure they were utilized.
I didn't know you could use indirect on a flake that small!! WOW!!!
Oh yes

Try it. It addictive. It's hard for me to focus on larger pieces when I don't have to.

Nice save at the 9 or 10 min mark👏🏻
Dang... you guys still watchin' these old vids? (Thanks, btw)
@@KnapperJackCrafty Hell yeah still watching. You really do make it look easy.
You make it look so easy. Beautiful point.

@@KnapperJackCrafty are you going to beat Bois D' Arc this year?
That's so pretty I would epoxy it to the bill of my cap and show it off. Fish hook on one side and a point like that on the other side.
Cool idea.

Great work! Where did you get your tools from and are you hitting your pressure flanker with something?
I make my tools and I'm hitting the flaker with a mallet. See my other vids.
It's amazing to me how perfect it came out. Is using a metal tool considered cheating?
Did you ever try putting one of these tips in an arrow and shooting it?
Metal tools make it easier. Yes, I've put these on arrows but I don't shoot them because they break.
Wow
Gorgeous little bird point Patrick... That material looked like it flaked really easy.... heat treated ?
Yes, it's heat treated and it knapped really well.
it makes me think of shark teeth, did anyone in the past use shark teeth for arrow heads?
As far a I know, there's no proof that shark teeth were used for arrowheads but I'm sure they were. There is proof that they were used for barbs on war clubs and fishing spears.
JackCrafty the shark teeth I have had over the years look a lot like those flint arrow heads and sharp as steak knives too
That is what my big preforms end up like but 4x’s thicker. Lol. At least they are starting to look like something.
As long as they dont look like almonds, you're doin' good.😆
is that aluminum bopper? Do you prefer that over copper?
Yes, that's aluminum. And I do prefer aluminum because of its cost. Copper is very effective and I will use it for "showy" or precise flaking sometimes.
How are you holding the big spike , the one your hitting with the piece of metal

Yep. Someday.
What made you decide to switch from copper to aluminum?
Aluminum is softer and more like antler. It has many of the same issues so the transition, to antler and back, is less of a learning curve.
So you basically use the same tools in antler than aluminium? Meaning the diameter of the tips and the "nails"... I will like to stick with the ancient tools, but I have a problem in finding good quality and affordable deer antlers, also, they last shorter, specially if you use tiny tools!
Great video, by the way!

wrong!!!!!You better brush up on your history before opening your uneducated yap
Ishi preferred a nail that had been through a fire

@@truthsayer35 Yes. Very interesting.
That's not an arrowhead, it's a scalpel!
Thanks. :-)
