I was throughly impressed by how he was able to do this by hitting glass so precisely. Then i realized he does this with obsidian regularly (which is still glass technically) and now I'm even more amazed at the dedication it took to learn this well
Spear heads are a great creation. I bet he could survive a whole entire zombie apocalypse on his own with that kind of talent. Just imagine what he could do with them.
A spear head for a zombie apocalypse? Horrible choice for killing hundreds of anything... That is trying to eat you.. Now, michonne and her katana in The Walking Dead, that is the perfect weapon.
As far as I know, it's not for authenticity; stoneflaking and similar practices use bone because it's the right hardness and material properties to shape the stone, not because it's more authentic.
This is just so cool and impressive to me. The amount of skill it must require--knowing exactly where to hit it, with how much force, to break off pieces that are just the right size so you don't loose too much of the material you're working with, not to mention how careful you must have to be to not hurt yourself with the glass.
Apart from your amazing skill, the spear head is truly a work of art. Wouldn't mind to exhibit that peace in a memory box. A conversation peace for sure. Love your Skill!!
This video is amazing. I had to watch it twice. It looks so easy, and he casually says things like, "At the right angle and with the right amount of force." That right there is probably the many years of practice that makes it not so easy. Thanks for sharing!
The thing is, you can! (Mostly). If you have a rocky garden, most likely you'll find a big piece of flint, and some other harder rocks. Last year in my first time flint napping I made a small crappy knife, and then a small crappy arrow head. Deer antler stuff and a leather leg mat might be useful for safety though.
I couldn’t even find a useable rock, it’s tough in Florida. Florida doesn’t have many minerals other than limestone, which is unusable for pretty much everything other than filtering water. The only other rocks you’re gonna find in abundance is river rocks, which can’t be used for tools either, they also explode when heated.
I wonder how long it took to master this craft. How many spearheads he's broken. How many times he's practiced hitting the right spots on the glass/obsidian/whatever other similar material. How many times his hands have been cut in the process. It's really just amazing. Continue doing the good work man.
Think of the 1st people that learned to do this. How long did it take them and how many mistakes did they make till they got it right. Also we used stone tools like this for thousands of years before we even began working with metal.

My great grandpa on my moms side used to make these same spearheads out of obsidian.

I never really got to know him since i was so young when he passed. Im almost 20 now so its been about 16 years and I still have all of his old spear heads.
I'm very sorry for your loss and I know these are only words but I really am sorry for your loss but not just because you lost him but also because my grandad on my dad's side died before I was born and my grandad died on my mom's side when I was 10 and my adopted grandfather (I was adopted out at 13) but he and I never really bonded or did things together like my real grandad did so I genuinely feel your pain ... I'm 42 now and I still think back to those days when I was just a kid and spent the weekends with him and my grandmother .. man those were the good ole days ... No matter how long you live you'll find new people as you grow older who will mean the world to you but you'll never be able to replace those who already do so in life's most challenging times just think back to good days and keep in mind you have more good days ahead of you even when it feels like you don't okay ... Good luck to you my friend and be blessed in Jesus Christ name 🙏🙏🙏
I don’t know about glass, but I have heard that if you get stabbed with knapped obsidian, it doesn’t hurt at all. You just bleed out really fast. That may be part of its appeal for hunting and warfare.
For an example of all these other videos where he used dear antlers to break obsidian maybe Minecraft could add like dear into the game and then the antlers can be used to make obsidian tools like swords and pickaxes because that makes sense
the fact that glass behaves almost like obsidian is mind blowing edit: mb guys i didnt use my brain while making this comment. obsidian is pretty much glass, ill remember that
@@skeletonbuyingpealts7134 making glass in the stone age does. unless you found the glass at the ground after a lightning strike. then it makes you double worthy
Are you freaking serious??? You make this look so easy. I would be in the hospital having nurses pick out glass from my hands. This is the coolest talent/skill I have seen someone demonstrate in a while! Just incredible.
It’s a testament of the experience that for the years before, and the years after, that we make do with what we have available to us. And this is an example of that kind of skill and craftsmanship that develops and what it needs to be used for for the needs of that time.
My skin prickles watching you so this because all I feel is tiny glass shards under my fingernails. I'm glad you're a professional and this is beautiful.
@artemis5622 Yes, it definitely makes a difference if you have babyhands or nah... My fingernails and fingertips are so hard, that I can do this without gloves and without feeling anything....
What a very cool skill to hone, and the spearhead looks deadly and equally beautiful, like some divine crystal relic with magical powers discovered in some archeological dig!
Omg dude😮😮 you have some real talent. Rock is one thing but glass is a whole other skill level. I remember growing up and my dad would be making some out of glass (never one that big) i always loved the art of making arrowheads. Seriously great work brother!!
Great looking Spear head! Stone knapping is a very relaxing hobby to get into. You can knap all sorts of useful tools from junk glass, obsidian, and other material many is the time i would sit around camp out in the wilderness knapping flint into blades, arrowheads, hide scrapers, etc. Once you get the skills of wilderness survival down, you can walk out into the woods and thrive! This once more proves the saying *"Always Weapons Can Be Found"*

No matter how long you live you'll find new people as you grow older who will mean the world to you but you'll never be able to replace those who already do so in life's most challenging times just think back to good days and keep in mind you have more good days ahead of you even when it feels like you don't okay ... Good luck to you my friend and be blessed in Jesus Christ name 🙏🙏🙏
Bit random, but cool.
The symmetry is absolutely cracking!!!
getting stabbed by this has to be top 10 most painful experiences
I don’t know about glass, but I have heard that if you get stabbed with knapped obsidian, it doesn’t hurt at all. You just bleed out really fast. That may be part of its appeal for hunting and warfare.
wait until you see a forbidden japanese tri-dagger
the sharper the blade, the less it hurts
@baanaanaana Oh, really?
@@baanaanaana i think this applies very little once you introduce serrations
For an example of all these other videos where he used dear antlers to break obsidian maybe Minecraft could add like dear into the game and then the antlers can be used to make obsidian tools like swords and pickaxes because that makes sense
It's really cool watching someone with true talent and knowledge of their craft
usable once
Such intricate craftsmanship, truly impressive!
HOW ARE YOU EVERYWHERE
you must be on 23 hours every day
be quiet bot
So you are here too
Only 3 likes and comment??? I'm making it 4!
the fact that glass behaves almost like obsidian is mind blowing
edit: mb guys i didnt use my brain while making this comment. obsidian is pretty much glass, ill remember that
Not too surprising since obsidian is a form of glass from a volcano. It’s still an awesome way of fabricating a weapon
@@Casualtitan08 never knew that. now i know. thanks
obsidian is volcanic glass
Weird when glass behaves like glass, a real mystery of nature!
😂
@@YukonJack I don’t think he knew that obsidian was a form of glass, don’t clown on him for that
That was absolutely awesome 👌
imagine having one of those back in the neolithic like "boys, it's just a spearhead, no need to make me chief or anything, it's chill."
Making a spear doesn't make you remotely worthy
@@skeletonbuyingpealts7134nigga's acting like he is a chief
@@skeletonbuyingpealts7134 what about the first guy that invented it?
@@skeletonbuyingpealts7134 making glass in the stone age does. unless you found the glass at the ground after a lightning strike. then it makes you double worthy
@@skeletonbuyingpealts7134 Depends on the current culture of people, I'd say that kind of craftsmanship is worth respecting.
That is really impressive 🩶
Dude! Your skill, the accuracy is incredible!
Dude is a genius !
Pleeeaaaasssee!! I wana see you use some of these knives and spear heads and see what they can do😭😭😭
I mean, it's glass, it's not gonna do well against most things lol. It's very much just a decorative piece.
@@MageMinionsOP they kill quicker, but are basically a one time use
“Looks pretty good” he says. Um no sir, that is what we call Perfect! You are a talented artist.
You have an amazing talent!
Geez that looks way better than I expected. Looks amazing actually🎉
Are you freaking serious??? You make this look so easy. I would be in the hospital having nurses pick out glass from my hands. This is the coolest talent/skill I have seen someone demonstrate in a while! Just incredible.
It’s a testament of the experience that for the years before, and the years after, that we make do with what we have available to us. And this is an example of that kind of skill and craftsmanship that develops and what it needs to be used for for the needs of that time.
I think you’ve got to be the fastest growing UA-cam channel I’ve ever known.

keep doing this amazing work!
I need one of these. I remember my dad would go hunting for arrowheads when I was a kid. 😊😊
"please! Give me my window back!"
" *Spearhead.* "
EDIT: HOW DO I HAVE SO MANY LIKES AAAAA 😭😭😭
“please give me my window back!”
“if you say so”
*chucks the spearhead*
"Please! Give me my child back!"
"spearhead."
how would someone even get in a situation where they need their window back 💀
@@stokesyedits bone spearhead
Stupid comment
My skin prickles watching you so this because all I feel is tiny glass shards under my fingernails.
I'm glad you're a professional and this is beautiful.
Wear gloves
@kenilewisbaida676 Gloves wouldn't be very practical in my opinion... Wouldn't be able to feel what u are doing. Just don't have baby hands...
@@Webeltjes Baby hands is not going to stop glass shards from getting under your fingernails?
Unless you ripped all your nails out when you hit 18.
@artemis5622 Yes, it definitely makes a difference if you have babyhands or nah... My fingernails and fingertips are so hard, that I can do this without gloves and without feeling anything....
Bro, this guy will soon be making a spearhead out of a sheep brain
What an amazing talent!!!
What a very cool skill to hone, and the spearhead looks deadly and equally beautiful, like some divine crystal relic with magical powers discovered in some archeological dig!
يا فتاة يجب عليك ان تنصحية كي يهتم بعينيه من أن تتطاير فيها قطع الزجاج وألا سوف يفقد هذه المهاره وهو اعمى 😂
You made that look so easy! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Finally, someone that sharpens glass correctly
I don't know how you make it look so goddamn easy...❤ Incredible job
Omg dude😮😮 you have some real talent. Rock is one thing but glass is a whole other skill level. I remember growing up and my dad would be making some out of glass (never one that big) i always loved the art of making arrowheads. Seriously great work brother!!
Bro will make anything into a spearhead
What about a meteorite? That way, it'll be a spearhead from space
Great looking Spear head! Stone knapping is a very relaxing hobby to get into. You can knap all sorts of useful tools from junk glass, obsidian, and other material many is the time i would sit around camp out in the wilderness knapping flint into blades, arrowheads, hide scrapers, etc. Once you get the skills of wilderness survival down, you can walk out into the woods and thrive! This once more proves the saying *"Always Weapons Can Be Found"*
This guy back in the day would prove really useful
What I learned from this, is how easily I can make myself an ashtray wherever I want to
You are extremely talented 😌👌
This would be a very dangerous weapon because glass itself is already pretty sharp. Awesome work
Incredible analysis 🤣
Incredible laugh 🤣@@TheSilentHeel
If you are old enough to make that sentence and are just now learning broken glass is sharp...
😐
Wow we TOTALLY did not know that until you came along-_-
just like obsldlan knives
Wow, looks beautiful 😍
