knapping and making a traditional stone knife

[aliveandangry]

that was fucking awesome. I wonder if I could bribe you to make me one with a longer blade, around 5 inches, double edged. I would gladly pay for it, well.

[bustedflakes]

@aliveandangry I dont do any more custom orders, thanks for the comment and the offer to make you something.

[MrKrumpmaster]

what if i dont have flint or obsidian. good video btw!

[bustedflakes]

@MrKrumpmaster glass is the best thing, bottles are awesome and there is some great videos on youtube on how to make a arrow head from a bottle. good luck thanks for the question.

[MrKrumpmaster]

@bustedflakes great suggestion! thanks! 

[sejembalm]

Excellent job and good choice of music.

I salute you!

[MrLeonidas0001]

Dude - awesome knife and nice vid!

[UTFRG]

Cool but what can this do like can it cut shavings of wood to sharpen a spear cut meat for cooking i mean it looks good but lets see what it can do

[bustedflakes]

@UTFRG If you view some of my other videos i have demos on cutting 4 inch thick leather no problem. search sharpest stone knife and you should find it. thanks for the question and comment.

[Bleacke]

[bustedflakes]

@Bleacke It was some basalt that i got from a guy in AZ, i did some trading with him.

it worked.

[chrisgeorgegray]

hey buddy im having real trouble attaching the blade to a handle can you give me an pointers ?

[hunna122]

@chrisgeorgegray ok if your a red neck duct tape if not get some epoxy and put a dab on each side of the blade and dip string in molten wax and wrap it around the handle and blade and for the handle get an antler shedding or something and cut a notch wide enouph and deep enouph to hold secerly

[hunter1234567ful]

[FlintKnappinFool]

ill be super impressed if you do one of these with abo tools! :)

[bustedflakes]

i have done a few abo style. i will post a video making one that way. thanks for the comments

[FlintKnappinFool]

looks more like basalt or dacite...

[bustedflakes]

it is basalt from AZ given to me by a guy that goes by the name of abo.

[FlintKnappinFool]

I use mostly obsidian since its whats readily available, but sometimes take excursions for jasper and cherts/chalcedony's and heat treat them, pretty much whatever flakes eh?

[Welder598]

Hours & hours of work-good job man! Love the music!

[Welder598]

Love this video-one of my favorites

[monicawoodb]

Nice video dude. I like the tunes.

[TheCaudillsinAZ]

Great Job, A buddy of mine just tried to make a basalt run but the roads are just to bad with mud.. I've got some stashed though so I'll still be able to send some more out. I've got lots of Obsidian and Texas flint.

[countryboycutlery]

[bustedflakes]
