John, I sure as heck don't feel left out. I was just asking a question and I personally don't give a darn what kind of tools you use. Most of us are just a bunch of replicators, trying to make our points look like someones that came way before us. I like being well rounded , Heck I have even tried some of Steve's tools , you know the dogwood bowling pins that ruin your hearing after hitting a couple home runs. Think i'll go out in the garage and just knap ;D ;D Bob

Zuma:
It is good to see the participation. No matter what. :)
 I think we learn a lot by splitting hairs.
It's kinda like trying to get a blade paper thin.
I know I always come away with more than I
came with, during these friendly discussions. :)

Few years ago I attended the gold and mineral show in El Paso, Texas.  Basically it was a metal detecting show.  I spoke with one of the vendors who was from Wisconsin. In our conversation he told me that he has detected around 200 copper artifacts.  Not sure about his knowledge of what can or can't be used for flint knapping but it sure would be interesting to  look over his finds.

PeteDavis:

Can you knap with antler?

I know that I can.

Even though I am

Industrial Man.

My DNA has strontium ninety

My auto-car is space-age proper

But I'll give you shit

If you Knap With Copper.
