This video is currently going around the world, through Facebook. I am getting a lot of feedback from people over in Europe. A German person pointed out that the technique shown here was shown on an old black and white clip from the Amazon jungle. According to the individual, the arrowhead making process was exactly the same, in the clip. I never showed this to anyone, before.

This tool below has been part of the evidence provided for your knapping technique. Is it always used as a billet like percussor as shown in your video? While it isn't striking the stone it is striking the small punch. Interesting video, thanks for sharing it!

Thanks Ben, the moment we've been waiting for. Nice bifurcate too. Is this a similar technique as your overshot?
le0n:
Thanks for sharing this clip, Ben.
I tried doing this based on the descriptions you had posted last year and only resulted in smashing my fingers.
Now after seeing this video, I can only imagine that i would still smash my fingers, hah hah.
That must take loads off practice to accomplish.
Again, thanks.

This tool is usually used as a flaker in a completely different process, not the one shown in the clip.
