To support or not to support on indirect percussion technique
Wolfmanjack:
I learned to Knapp by watching YouTube videos as well as by trial and error. Jackcrafty’s under the leg indirect percussion technique is what I have been using. When using this technique I don’t provide any support where I’m taking a flake from. Is this the correct technique or should you place a finger and apply pressure there? Obviously im not doing it wrong per say, but is there a better way? A little something I made last night.
JEB:
Looks like you have it figured out to me. Very nice point
YosemiteBen:
Nice point! Each and every knapper has lots of in person and online instructors available. Every one has their own style. Find what works for you - keep using it -- refine it - keep learning!

xin:
I think you have it mastered. I would not change anything you are doing. Great point.
