How to Sharpen a Stone Knife 

Thanks for a great video! I loved seeing the old blade comparison with the newer one!

Thanks for showing the used up and beveled blade! That was awesome to see why some ancient points are beveled so steeply

Just got my package of Georgetown from you! You've definitely earned a repeat customer. Haven't even knapped the spalls yet, but I can already tell just by how you spalled them, that they're better than anything I've gotten before. Thanks a ton Ryan!

Man I’m drooling at that beautiful stack of Georgetown behind you, I’m 1000% sure you didn’t pay Knapp-in retail prices for that! Did you get to go to the source and bring home a truckload? I’m going to go look at your website to see if you’ll sell me some now lol.

Thanks for sharing mate.

excellent - as always

Great video

@Huntprimitive, you know how you said that the knives would leave cuts on your finger from it having two edges? I find quite the amount of knife artifacts here in VA and how the natives liked making them around here is they would leave or rub the top flat that way you have a finger rest. The finger rests look weird but they are very effective. The rest would be at the front of the blade (most of the time) that way you're relieving pressure on the joint where the piece is hafted. You push down, the handle wants to come up. Hence the finger rest. Think of the way you use a metal knife, more often than not you put a finger on the back of the blade 😀👍I love your videos by the way. Keep em coming you mad lad

That pile of Georgetown behind you 😍 Looks like you grabbed some good stuff man!

Very informative video thanks man

Is this how u get ur arrowheads scary sharp as well? Trying to get that part down in knapping.

Dude, lot of chippers would stage a Commando raid for a pile of what's behind you. Nice tutorial. Thanks.

It’s faster than sharpening a steel blade! 😂

I've wondered about this here. I've been looking for a big arrow head or knife when I'm out in the woods. I've been want to make a knife from a find. I have found several in camp sites from hundreds of years ago. I made a unique find here awhile back. I know where a camp is no one knows about. I've found a few arrowheads and big broke points. But I found a piece of flint I thought was some tool. I took it and some points to a professor and he told me about 800 to 900 years ago on them. This one I thought was a tool, turned out to be a piece of flint for a flintlock rifle. Soooo! Now it's got me wondering how that flint ended up in that camp site from that long ago. Where I live there is mega flint and old camps from years ago. It is in my medicine bag along with a small arrow head that I found also where I bow hunt. I feel I'm continuing the "hunt" that these indians were doing those years ago..

love ur vids man

Very interesting, thank you!

Hey Ryan, I’ve got a big shopping bag full of wild turkey primaries I’ve been saving for 20 years when I hunt them, could I send them to you and maybe you send me back a few pieces of those Georgetown nodules? Whatever you think is fair in a flat rate box? I’m in East Tennessee but a couple of the turkeys were Osceola from when I lived in Florida. (I actually sorted and threw away all the secondary wing feathers a couple months ago lol, didn’t know anyone could use them).

Looking forward to your thoughts on repurposing stone tools

I try to think of sharpening stone as carving in teeth of a carnivorous beast. Opposite side of the bevel just one fine little pop pop.

Okay I bought blades but they were dull so I make a tool like the copper one I can sharpen it and makes knife

Is it possible to make an edge on flint by sanding it instead of knapping

hey hunt primitive Ryan. first off, great video. very informative. i have a question: ive been looking to get some large fairly flat cobbles like those that were in the background at the beginning. do you sell whole cobbles like that at your store?

Olá meu amigo gostei muito do seu trabalho like garantido abraço do paquinha pescador RU-vidr 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Hello huntprimitive! You've said in the past that you prefer double edge blades. Is that because you have more time in between sharpening, or are there any other reasons you prefer double over single edge?

I was contacted by your channel yesterday from the comments on the bison video that I won a Hoyt carbon RX7. But the channel that did it was only 4 days old and I was not subscribed to it. Wanted to make you aware and see if it was true.

Do you ever use brass instead of copper in the pressure flaker tips?

Excellent tutorial, and a beautiful blade. 👍 A quick question, do you file your pressure flaker points, or pound/cold forge them into a point? I've recently started pounding my copper points, then gently skating an abrader stone over them, and I find they work a lot better, may just be me though.

The second Arrowhead you show at around 7:07 what is that material? Is it Flint?
