WHAT IS HIGH GRADE STONE?
Anything you can run a 1/2" or more flake with a pressure flaker.
HEAT TREATING:
Heat treat a few FLAKES of everything you got except HIGH GRADE Raw Stone, Obsidian, Dacite, Basalt, Hornstone, Sonora, Fort Payne, or Rhyolite. Start with flakes and spalls less than 1" thick for 200°F for 24 hours to dry it out. Then raise the temp to 275°F and hold for 4 hours. Let cool down for 12 hours. Chip and compare. If no difference, put back I at 200°F for 1/2 hour, then raise to 275 for 1/2 hour, then raise to 325 for 4 hours.
Let cool down for 12 hours. Chip and compare. If no difference, put back in at 200°F for 1/2 hour, then raise to 275 for 1/2 hour, then raise to 325 for 1/2 hour, the raise to 375 for 4 hours.
Repeat with temp going up 50°F until you reach 600°F or nice chippable stone. Whichever comes first. If no good result, or things blow up, let us know.

[@jasonsummit1885]

Great to get here early, I'd love to find some heat treated stone but I guess it's easier to do it myself with stone I already have.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Oh yes

[@otisnapper4107]

Thanks for reminding me. I’ve had similar thoughts when I looked through at my artifacts how precious Stone must’ve been for them guys that lived in areas with no material they couldn’t just go on the Internet and buy some. Pertaining to your comments about luck.

[@clintevans3886]

Very fine work sir! I was hoping you were going to check the width to thickness ratio. I could see it getting very thin.

[@BladesPointsBySgp]

Nice rock! Nice luck also! 😊

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Thanks! 😁

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Good job Jack

[@mikemason4758]

@24:20 on x 1.5 speed there’s skilled there is lucky and there is educated. When you start turning a big rock into a little rock, it is your responsibility to understand the conversation you are having.

[@senkuishigamiemc2]

I never napped before but this looks really cool we should teach this more in arts and crafts butfor like expert level
in an alternate timeline I could be here making Cumberland points in arts class 😭😭😭😭😭

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Oh yes.

[@NarheimArmoury]

Flintknapping is definitely a different animal. I have a bunch of experience in many crafts. Bladesmithing, welding, stone and wood carving, leatherwork... it's all a walk in the park in comparison. Even bowmaking is. This doesn't feel like shaping a material. It's more like a mix of chess, juggling knives and trading stocks. I'm sure if you had a brain scan while knapping the whole thing would be lighting up like a Christmas tree

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Flintknapping is a sport. 😁

[@vernonhess3842]

Sport for you. I think Narheim Armoury stated correctly. Great work Pat!

[@johnsmalldridge6356]

Very nice!

[@devinpinnon4209]

I like to compare flintknapping to chess. I love both, but they are very difficult hobbies.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Yes

[@kensanity178]

Jack, there seems to be an unwritten and unexplained reason why a large blade like point cant look like a hunting point. But in my view each point is an artistic expression. In other words, it realky doesnt have to look like one that some indian would have done 600 years ago. Its art, so why not do some "fantasy" points, starting with one thats 5 to seven inches long and shaped something like a big old hunting point?
