First ever knapped head!
Otoe Bow:
Woodcraft sells them for about $20-30 bucks, (one glove). Be careful though because the small flakes might be able to go through the somewhat loose weave. They were designed to prevent slicing wounds.
Did you cut the hand with the pressure flaker or the one holding the blank? Wear it on that hand. It's like wood carving, you only need to wear it on the hand holding the piece you're carving. Seldom do you cut the hand holding the knife. ::)
I think you did good on your first try.

DanaM:
Just get a good leather glove and get back on that horse, cuts heal and their will be many more in your future ;D
Besides you can impress the girls with your battle wounds ;)

I cut thr hand holding the pressure flaker. How would those kevlar gloves for flieting(sp?) fish work?
It would be easier to convince my mom if i had kevlar gloves because it is what bullet proof vest are made from and she is from Chicago so she doesnt understand anything
huntertrapper:
aint sure about the gloves. but do you hunt? trade points are good for hunting.
david w.:
O ya i hunt but i am not really into trade points right now. I dont think i have all the right stuff to make them
