Just one simple question about flint knapping.

lenador:
I've been rock hunting for a about a week now and I've found a couple of rocks that could be knappable candidates. I've got one simple question......how in the world do you split these rocks open to get a better look at the core? I can barely get chips off these things. Lots of sparks damaged metal so I j ow the rocks are pretty hard.

Zuma:
Can you post some pics of the rocks?

Bear with me, I can only post one picture per post.

These are all from creek/river beds.

This one was very hard to chip and made sparks fairly easy on steel but it looks pretty "flaky" in the picture it seems.
