Flintknapping Trash - 1920's Glass Purex Bottle

In the 1920's and 1930's, due to the Great Depression, a large number of Americans moved to the American Southwest in the hopes of starting a new life. On my property in New Mexico I discovered one small, run down, broken up cabin. This is an old depression era settlement. Since coming into its ownership, I have found square nails, old medicine bottles, rusted tools, shared of ceramics, old metal chunks and one Glass Purex Bleach Bottom. In an effort to turn "trash" into something new I decided to take this approximate 100 year old bottle and turn it into a knife.

one of the coolest things about knapping is being able to practice and use old glass bottles etc. or even in a pinch, theres always some glass around somewhere. but most of all, like i said, practing on glass to save a ton of money on stone is where its at!! thanks for the vid

damn, thats a nice knife, the kind of brown/red makes it look so cool! Also, im impressed by how hard the glass was, thought it was gonna shatter any moment haha

@aaronengland5622 11 месяцев назад

glass flakes very well but you gotta support it right and hit it with softer tools cause shock waves travel through it WAY quicker than grittier materials. glass usually isn't isn't too much softer than quartz based rocks though it does range a bit. 3-5 on the Mohs harness scale. that said brown glass is definitely one of the easiest ones to break. You'll definitely want to grind a lot with it.

@kelvinsparks4651 Год назад

Very nice well done. I've had the good fortune to have found a whole lot of bottle bottoms in a abandoned dump site, dating from the Victorian times, they flake so much better than modern glass.

@danielmiller2886 Год назад

Where is the cutoff between older and modern? I mean, when did the manufacturing properties change so that older works better for knapping? I'd like to learn this skill and glass seems easy to come by, but I want to get the right glass

@kelvinsparks4651 Год назад

@@danielmiller2886 well that's a good question, I'm sure the quality varies from country to country . Here in the UK after the Victorian era the glass gets thinner, probably due to manufacturing improvements and cost cutting. Modern glass still knapps ok but due to the thickness is a bit more delicate. Ive learned all my knapping abilities from RU-vid to be honest. Chanel's like will lord , danny dust , primitive pathways and shaun woods are excellent examples for learning.

@omuriceis300bucks3 11 месяцев назад

I made myself glass knife using small beer bottle shard. It turned out like something similar to double-edged safety razor, but out of glass, serrated and with only one sharp edge. I tried to cut grass, thin branches, leather, ropes, even food (tbh i was expecting that it will leave sharp flakes in food and I probably dead man) and it did quite well in all tasks, even food. One con of my knife is that it's too short. I probably gonna make something bigger, so i can use it more comfortable, like normal sized knife.

@thebimpson1933 Год назад

How different is it to knap stone v glass? It looks a little more difficult cause you’re not really getting the big chunks and flakes you normally get when knapping flint.

@galoreorc01 Год назад

Best to practice on glass before touching obsidian(tends to be a bit harder to source)

@aussieflintknapping Год назад

As Moisted potato said, glass and obsidian are super easy to learn on as they're consistent in their density all over. If Donny worked the centreline back to one face more and really abraded his platforms to be a lot more stout he could've knocked much deeper thinning flakes off but given the piece of glass he was working with isn't super thick to begin with it wasn't necessary. The side with the writing was harder to clear and flake through as the depressions in the glass cause the flakes to want to stop early
