How to Make and Use a Stone Knife 

The blade looks good and all, but will it KEEL?

Alternate Title: Local caveman uses rock to make assault rock.

I says to myself: "Self, I'd buy rocks from this fella." But then I remembered I could probably go find some. But if ever I were to buy rocks from a fella, it would be this fella.

You not able to sit is not a matter of genetics. Its only about stretching certain muscles. I saw some african tribe sitting around fire and was aamzed. Started to practice and it turns out once you get adjusted you can sit like that nearly forever.

Plot twist: Arrowheads are just old worn out knives that were repurposed so as not to waste a perfectly good pointy bit.

I never knew that primitive society’s shared their survival skills using an IPhone.

What kind of rock is that?

That was brilliant I'm not even interested in making stone knives, but seeing the whole process, and your refelctions on the evolution of the blade through use, and length of the handle; facinating!

This guys house is gonna confuse the hell out of archeologists in the distant future.

i never had incentive to go outside, couldn't feel entertained alone in the desolated area i live in, lately though i have grown an interest in primitive tools, rock knapping and so on, videos like this really get me excited to go out and search for the materials i need to make tools! so thank you, it helps to start going outside on my own more

He is the Bob Ross of stones. "Nice little flake right there." "Happy little tree." ^_^

Wow this is the first time I have ever seen knapping, and I am just blown away by the whole process. The skill shown in making this blade impresses me just as much as any blacksmith on youtube ever has.

I'm a writer and this has been a great reference for a story I'm working on.

I have been wanting to make tools like this the way people made them years ago. Thank you for showing me how. I'm glad I found your videos. Very entertaining and informative

Ryan..I just across this video..and I really enjoyed every minute of it. I've always enjoyed the outdoors. Channels like yours has inspired me to learn and practice self sufficient ways of living. Your instructions were informative and understandable. Hope to see many more videos.

Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night

As an amateur knife maker, and amateur bladesmith. I found this to be absolutely fascinating. It was so satisfying watching the history of what I do today, and pondering the evolution of all of it.... I like to think there was an ancient man crafting his blades and handle materials , tediously working and slathering every square inch of his tool with the attention to detail , only attainable by the most passionate of craftsmen . Thanks for this.. I really appreciate the way you let your thoughts flow out of your mouth . It reminds me if when I'm working on a peice and my lines are coming out just right, and when Im landing perfect blows with my hammer and the steel is moving just right .

me and my family love to go camping in the wild and I always loved making weapons out of wood obviously they never work so now I'm moving to stone this was really helpful and now when I'm bored at camp looks like ill be making even more tools thank you so much this was very helpful

You can say he rocks at his job😉

I recently took up flintknapping, but my profession is as a music teacher - speaking from this point of being a newbie, but as someone who has utilized Alexander Technique, as well as others, I think more emphasis should be made on being easy on your body as you're flintknapping; get up, move around, stretch your fingers and forearms all throughout this process so that you don't develop arthritis, tendinitis, or general soreness.
