Awesome, I hope to be that good one day... It would be great for hunting Wooly Mammoths.

@chrissie149 Yeah, stone is wicked sharp but fragile. That's why you didn't see swords or huge-bladed axes until metal working came in. Otherwise, your entire blade shatters ounce it hits bone.

You have much skill but I bet the old stone age knappers would be laughing at you. It would be a shame for these skills to disappear completely.

@jacksawild I agree with you, the old boys were the masters and I could learn a lot from them!....jim

Hi, Jim. Thanks for the great series. I have watched it several times, and have learned quite a bit. I want to take up the craft, and I wanted to ask where in Oregon did you extract the original boulder? Was it near Glass Buttes? I live in Oregon, and I want to go find some material to get started. Thanks. John

John, yes it is south of the Buttes, maybe 20 miles or so and I think it is considered a part of the Buttes, not sure though. There are quite a few outcrops of it in the area....jim

Works great for slicing watermelon! just kidding, they actually made big blades like this in the Northwest for ceremonies. They were known to dance around a campfire holding the blade up in the air where the fire would reflect off the blade....jim
