I’m trying to find material for klint knapping and having no luck. Any hints on how to tell if churt is flint-bearing or not? -Kristy
Abe from Myspace:
I’ve been having a little trouble finding good materials as well, you can look in rocky creek bottoms for rocks that have a glossy look to them and chip off a piece with a hammer stone or billet and see if it’s flint, but flint needs to be tempered at about 300-450 degrees fore 12 or 24 hrs. a good material is glass, from a bottle with a flat thick bottom, that’s what I’ve been using.
