Just finished some skinning blades.
Pat B:
Dane, One book on knapping I would recommend is...FLINTKNAPPING, Making and Understanding Stone Tools. By John C. Whittaker.(U of Texas Press, Austin TX... John Whittaker is a professor of Archeology and a knapper and he discusses not only how to make arrow heads but the process on how to start with simple stone tools and work your way to arrow heads, etc. Very informative, easy to understand line drawings and explanations.

mullet:
Very nice looking blades Paul.I need to chip some rock,but it's just too hot.
cowboy:
Thanks guys! yep their sharp, at least sharp enough to skin and scrape, and cut yourself if'n you miss ;D. Your right the Dark Lord does need a knife to go with that outfit, something big and eccentric with more than one horn sticking out of it.
Dane: their's one book I studied on when I was beginning - went over it several times and got me on my way. Don't know if it's at horsefeather's or not (they have several) but it's DC Waldorf's The art of Flintknapping. I did set in with a guy once and he learned me about the Ishi stick, other'n that it's a matter of tonage ;).
Couple of you guys are goin to get a surprise in the mail ::)..........................................
Coo-wah-chobee:
