@paleomanjim Oh sorry silex, is the term in french for flint ;) My bad. I was talking about knives like in the movies. I was thinking about the only proper knife in "Apocalypto".

@paleomanjim Ok, thanks
-
what do you do with the old chips broken off the main project? would they be big enough for use with the steel to make fire?

at 4:20 you mention good support...could you explain a little more on that. I kind of pinch close to the edge and support the stone against the palm of my hand which seems to be what you do but at time i feel like maybe i could be doing it in a way which would give more consistan flaking...length seems to be the issue i have most. when i want to pull a long flake i get a medium flake or a hinge/step fracture. any ideas.

Best congratulations from Spain for such a great job of studing and teaching the art of flintknapping. We appreciate very much your effort in showing us all these techniques.

What is the longest obsidian/silex blade you made?
Rhinoch8 6 months ago
@Rhinoch8 Sorry, I am not familiar with the term silex? Largest biface is 28". Largest pressure blade from a core is around 8". Much larger examples have been made by others....

do you need all the tools, or is it possible to knap with only a hammer stone and antler tip?

@TheSonofgun666 A hammerstone and antler tine is a great tool kit, after all that was probably our ancestors main tool kit! Have fun....jim
