Fantastic! You're the first person I've seen using flint to work other bits of flint... something I do a fair amount and good to see someone else doing it.
The close up shots and slow motion are a great help in understanding the way the tool is produced. Another excellent video,looking forward to the next.
I love your content. But i do wish you had thought to do close ups on this one though, i only have the vaguest idea what your doing too the small bits of flint...
Great stuff man I adventured into the stone age when I was 12 and I plan to do it for the rest of my life I eat sleep and dream stone age I knap anything I can get my hands on grind down bone I have a lot of spears I wish to meat you someday maybe spend a weekend in the forest your the best man
These videos are so fascinating, I love them! I've heard a theory that people would use microliths and create sort of macuahuitl-style blades by just putting the sharp microliths into, say, a deer bone for a shaft. This was because you get lots of sharp microliths and it's less likely to break than a knife with a big blade made wholly out of flint. Is this true or just a seemingly-plausible theory? I mean, for a nomadic person, having a knife that can be replaced quite easily seems a lot better and more useful than having a knife that is hard to make and if the blade shatters or breaks, well, you're in big trouble then.
The journey into this Flint has been highly fascinating and informational to me. I appreciate your skills and knowledge! I can't wait for more videos! Thank you for sharing!
Will is a natural teacher. I watch a lot of RUclips for paleo. He and Paleomanjim are far and away the best. Will provides such a good view of the technologies from across the pond. Of the top ten persons I would like to meet, Will is on the list.
The saying, 'Practice makes Master', is well-founded for sure. Will Lord is a Grand Master of his art, in my opinion: a born survivor, in tune with nature . Respect where respect is due.
Hi just wondering if you have considered soaking the antler for up to a month to soften it before sawing or scraping or repeatedly boiling and sawing, over boiling will ruin it, just a few minutes at a time is all you need. a deeply serrated bi-face with a strait edge will work well with softened antler. Even in the Mesolithic bow saws with twisted horse hair or strong fiber rubbed in greasy fat and powdered with grit/sand was used. These are ancient energy/time saving methods, like you, they were masters of their craft. Rock on, Arrorock
LoL @ the lil long white thing sticking out of the stone at 7:19 . ... Maybe a tiny dwarf living inside the stone just opened the glory hole business...? :) (Sorry for making up of this silly story.. Just couldn't stop myself.)

Mr. Lord. These are great videos. If you've not done so, please consider putting all of them in a Playlist of their own. For ease of binge watching.

another awesome video
??? I'm loosing count, very nice....This is a interesting journey thru stone...still sooo many unused pieces....😀
First of
all thanks for that amazing series. But i was wandering why you don’t punch your
blades?
What ever happened to this series Will? I really enjoyed it
Could you please show us the process of making the harpoon or the finshed product?
You didn’t even show us the Antler harpoon!
(the finished product)
Is that a demon necklace with the tip of the tongue broke off
No its a copy of a carving that was made in the skull of a Mammoth and put in the entrance of a mammoth bone dwelling Nr Russia upper palaeolithic

Nice video, can't wait to see the thing all finished up!
Plus i agree about ivan hita sub observation.
This channel needs way more subs, too good of a channel it should b 1 Million + subs
ivan hita, I concur.
Channels like this people find boring, for some reason it's all video games :(

another great video Will, really love this series with you doing the timeline
best wishes
That’s one big Pressure-flaker!

This guy would be an invaluable source of knowledge if you ever got lost in the wilds.

The body of a neanderthal with the voice of a brittish gentleman from the victorian era
Hmm
Youre my best friend
really good video bro
I take it the image you carved you had seen in a book? I researched and could not come up with anything.
how much would it cost for you to make a flint knife
