Fixing "humpy" Flints

Short video showing the best way that I have found so far to deal with flints that are just too tall for your flintlock jaws. Obviously safety glasses are recommended but I left the gloves off so I could monitor temperature. I have tried this method with standard aluminum oxide belt and drum sanders with poor results, diamond definitely seems to work the best.

Good info thanks!

It gets the job done! When I was told that flints were not returnable or refundable from a certain vendor, I had to improvise.

@Bill Thomas yes in the last few months mine have all been very tall I have had to knap them down this looks much faster

I just wish that the vendors would get word back to the knappers over across the pond that we aren't happing paying for 12 flints, 6 of which need modifications to work.
