i have been flintknapping for 9 years now. i have my good days and bad days. i have just recently made a really nice hellgap thats about 9 inches long. anyways i was just wondering if anybody does this great lost art? i would love to chitchat with ya. it would also be a great stepping stone for those survival enthusiasts.

Nice work Kalen, seems you are very practiced at flintknapping, nice shapes! What are the blue ones made from? Nice looking gold....dont think it will knapp out good though.
