WOW!! You are an absolute MASTER!!! You're definitely my new favorite channel !

Oh year, this is the typical flint in north europe around the Baltic sea. Its laying here a lot of on the ground and in the woods.

Really cool video...refreshing to see you think on your feet(while off your feet...lol)this one put you out of your comfort zone which switched on all that evolutionary stuff to put your body and mind more in the zone!😊

Such sharpness I've never touched until jasper. It makes a scalpel look like a butter knife. I was cut by one of those flakes on an archiological dig. The archeologist said the flakes were from around 3000 years ago! Still micron sharp. I Bled pretty bad.

Cool vid, really nice flint. Reminds me of high quality dark Texas ,like you said. Really nice job and explanation.👍

Ohh! Baltic flint - my Homeland flint! 👍

Jack, ypu made that rock jump through a flaming hoop. Amazing. Enjoyed watching this video.

Dacite cousin "flintsite" lol does however remind me of dacite

Ive knapped something sumular at tommy heflins in Portales NM. Was very nice glossy stuff. I seen you moved up north we did to

Concrete finishers understand the phrase chatter marks

Very interesting analysis of the material. Thank you. It certainly responds well to a strong ridge and good support, you can make some really game changing flakes. Using this I've been trying to thin bifaces aggressively and early to avoid the problems with termination, but I still need a lot more experience. Looking forward to part 2.

Nice work sir and thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Great looking rock,Looks like good hard flint for tools and points.

Yes they have lots

Wes Studi, "if you can think about it logically"....this inference is that they can't think, or have the capacity on the outset to think logically. 😂😂😂😂

The dull stuff in the middle is a big fat tough spot. That's why it's doing the weirdness. It's like ninja concrete, it takes pretty thick flakes to push through the stuff if you're striking on the glassy material. I try to avoid the middle when knapping senonian.

There's a whole lot of flint over here, and it was a huge export in the Neolithic age. No need to worry too much about divulging locations because it's literally everywhere :) Finding such beautiful pieces without huge inclusions takes searching though.

Watched DC Waldorf make a Danish dagger from this stuff. Gads, was that involved. He got almost done when on his last strike it folded because of a hidden crack. He rediscovered how this technology was accomplished. Sweet.

Pat is that just mild steel you used to spark that flint? Also is that one of Danny’s boppers? If so how you like it?

Such logic.

Must be nice having access to such rock.

Smoking is good! I limit myself to just a couple of cigars per day. I just don’t smoke while I’m knapping. I end up wasting a cigar. Not to many points that I find out in the wild are not as thin as the ones we knap. And once again smoking is good.

Good work Jack looks like a nice piece of rock

That bears an uncanny resemblance to Georgetown...interesting

That bears an uncanny resemblance to Georgetown...interesting. and i said that before I got very far

I've knapped that stuff, it's rarely ever as good inside as it seems near the cortex.

I would call that a 6.5 out of 10 flint, like most things in life finding perfection is not easy, and not necessary to survive:)) there is better flint and worse flint here in Denmark, most rock have a little something installed just to piss you off:)) and the piece you have will snap if you a too stubborn with it in a thin state. Always enjoy watching, Thanks!

Shor enough that color is olive. That being a blend of green and brown can confuse.

Those nodules look a lot like some mozarkite from Missouri.

Beautiful Stuff. Never had any of it. I prolly couldnt do it justice. Oh and i heard you say in one video that you like Heavy Metal music. What bands and era of metal do you favor the most? Ive played guitar since I was 12. I started playing in church then moved onto other genre's. I thoroughly enjoy playing Metal and Bluegrass. The two couldnt be farther apart from eachother. Sold my electric guitar and Amp Stack cause mom is sick and i play loud so ill get another setup one day later. But she enjoys listening to me play Bluegrass, Country and Gospel music. I wish I could Knapp as good as you and Play guitar like Tony Rice 😂 id be a master at both then.

pretty much the entire east coast from denmark to northern france and then over to southern england is made of flint and chalk , there is plenty plenty , perhaps not all this good but there is so much it could supply modern knapping for another few thousand years if exploited . in england where they quarry limestone and chalk/clay they have spoil heap mountains of flint the size of multiple story buildings as a quarry bi product . they sell some as building stone usually by the ton bag for a cheap price . the issues arise with local laws in different nations . for example in england it is technically illegal to remove stones from the sea shore which is usually owned by the crown estate but on private property flint may be gathered from the surface or dug from the ground . in denmark i am not sure but i know they are very strict with most things . there is probably a reason why there isnt more of this rock on the market

this stuff is great i had sombody send me some too. the only problem with it is we cant get it here. I had some sent to me from a english distro. but it cost an arm and a leg. I got 100lbs for 340$ and 300 shipping. that is like 7 bucks a pound round about. i wish i could get it cheaper. The longest blade i ever made was with this stuff.

what is your abrader made of?

Looks like Georgetown

Flint Michigan kek

Talks way to much just get on with it
