Iowabow, I really do not mind anyone knapping slabs. I suppose if I had some made naturaly I would be more incline to try it. I have also seen silitified shale that is close to slabs and would love to work some of it. I have watched a guy using small punches do amazing work on that shale. Would like to see a pic of the natural slabs you mentioned...Thanks

Turbo, cool video on using the buffalo horn. May have to try it also.

I see nothing snippy in them or lashing. It's pure humor.
I knap with many of the posters and they know
I envy their skills. All in fun.
I'm just an ole dog that hasn't even mastered copper.
Don't let my comments change your mind about a great thread
and going ABO.

In that case, my apologies Sir.  Perhaps I am a bit over sensitive on the matter and read more into your post than was intended.  Josh

Zuma:
Not a problem Josh,
It is interesting though. I remember when it was Abo only at
Oregon Ridge. (Baltimore MD). It didn't work out to well.
But interestingly enough copper was eventually allowed.
More interesting is that since then more knappers have
gravitated to what are thought to be abo techniques.
(big time)
It's all good. water seeking it's own level and all.
The best thing about knapping is the great folks that are
willing to share their rock, tools, methods, material, food
and support.
Joining a tribe is good medicine. :)

LOL Iowa, I saw where you snuck in ( even an X)

iowabow:

caveman2533:
I heard Marty say "water" buffalo horn, how does it compare to using native bison horn and will it work to use a pronghorn antelope.
