david w.:
My mom was in an extremely good mood because i got a partial scholarship to the highschool i will be attending next year.

I convinced my mom to let me knap porcelin.
So i can knap again i just have to wear gloves and i cant do it when i am home alone :)

your points are very very nice

Electricfrontporch:
i am just starting to learn how to knap.  i am starting with glass as i have heard its easier  than stone and its free. there isnt alot of flint in florida .  How does porcelain rate. is it just ornamental or could ou use it to hunt?    Noah

david w.:
i am not sure i think porcelin would be fine target/small game point but i dont think it would be a very good big game point

Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive:
i would certainly say that glass easier, i am in FL too and very rarly come across and natural flints, so i am forces to buy most of it. but glass and porcelain are free. glass makes a very sharp head and will suffice for hunting, porcelain, can too, but its more difficult to knpa and really have to concenrate to get good flakes to center to get it sharp enough- Ryan
