Flint Knapping a Rhyolite Paleoindian Knife; What is the problem? 

Flint knapping a paleoindian knife blade from North Carolina Rhyolite!
In this fascinating video, Jay - a skilled flintknapper with 15 years of experience - takes us on a journey back in time as he uses his expert knowledge of ancient techniques to transform a piece of North Carolina rhyolite into a beautifully crafted paleoindian knife. Flintknapping, the art of shaping stone into tools and weapons, is a skill that has been passed down through generations, and Jay is a true master of this ancient craft.
Using nothing but his bare hands and a few simple tools, Jay employs the time-honored technique of indirect ishi stick flaking to carefully remove small, controlled pieces of the rock and shape it into a sharp and functional knife. The process is mesmerizing to watch, as Jay uses his knowledge of the properties of the stone and the flintknapping techniques to carefully and expertly shape the rock into its final form.
But this video is not just about the flintknapping process - it's also about the incredible rock that Jay uses to make his knife. North Carolina rhyolite is a type of volcanic rock that is known for its durability and resistance to fracturing, making it perfect for use in flintknapping. This rock, found only in the state of North Carolina, has been used by Native Americans for thousands of years to make tools and weapons, and it continues to be a favorite among flintknappers today.
So join Jay on this incredible journey as he takes us back in time and shows us the amazing process of flintknapping - from start to finish. Watch as he transforms a plain piece of North Carolina rhyolite into a beautifully crafted paleoindian knife, and be amazed by the skill, knowledge, and talent that goes into this ancient craft.
