Knaping is a little side hobby I do when I'm at camp. I'm not good at it but it fun and someday I will be great at it.
Share you tips tricks and projects if there is a knaping pro in the house please post a how to.

The best thing you can do to support the site is pass it on to your friends and fav sites like other forums, facebook, twitter etc. Let people know about us! :)
The only two knapping projects I've ever done that look like something. And didn't break. One is some type of glass no idea what from. The other is a stone found in a river bed by my house
the top one looks like obsidian...volcanic glass....flakes very sharp....down to the molecular edge....surgeons at one time were using it for scaples...but it was too sharp...they could not feel the cut.
I got a few pieces a friend got me for my Bday....years ago....havent attempted anything yet.
Live like you'll die tomorrow, learn like you'll live forever.
might not be....but there are varying degerees of quality....the guy who gave me mine....flaked off a piece and sliced 3/16" shoe leather like it wasn't there.....wicked stuff...

I would love to get a knife size piece to play with. I just think they look so awesome
I definately need to try this! To find flint around here is just about impossible. I just found that out the other day. I think you will have to send a shipment up to me and I'll send some chaga down to you.
If you found the glass like substance it might be discard from a glass factory i find glass discards of all type color and quality in rivers I'll post some pictures when I get the time, I've been thinking about trying some knapping projects, the rivers around here are just loaded with flint, discard glass and other usable materials
