1959 - Part 1/4 - Large Dacite Blade  

Trying to maximize both the biface and the flake yield is my favorite part of knapping. I'm not sure it's actually maximizing the total yield given the failure rate but it's neat when you can split a rock in two full length pieces.

That particular peice of Dacite has a lot of cool patterns in it. This Orta be a Good'n 😎🏹

Very cool looking biface, can't wait to watch part 2. Always wondered 🤔 what you do with all those crud flakes and the unusable stone that's left over?

true dacite , is barely knappable, and looks completly different. With all of your knowledge Patrick, I would have thought you knew this

I bought a bunch of that since I like dacite it however was horrible

I do my share to keep your numbers up ! I use to watch just to fall asleep but its not working anymore.

Crud flakes is because that flavor is crud

I watch more than 16mins

Not familiar with this stuff, but is that a copper head on the “hammer” thing? I really don’t know what that’s called

That’s a big ole piece! God dang. I’d would have started sweating as soon as I picked it up. My anxiety would be crawling out of me and my facial expressions would have probably been this 😬😬😬😬😬😬

Make a nice knife for me!

I want very much one of a large knives from you, I respect your knapping.

I seen a guy with a tote that he knapped in blanket on bottom so flakes stay down.

Where do you dispose of all the sharp refuse when you are done?

look up Dacite!!! What every one calls Dacite is actually obsidian that was nicknamed Daysite....what you have is Daysite, and is obsidian!!!
