I live in NW Kent We did this when we were kids, using a large pebble instead of the antler. We made mostly arrowheads using coppice for the arrow shaft and bows. We didn't even know it was called flint knapping lol

I am wanting to get into flint napping (I use a bow & arrows) but I feel that making stone tools is becoming a lost art. Is there any chance that you could recomend some books & suppliers of flint, chert & tools at a reasonable price ? I would be forever gratefull. Clayton Griffiths, Falkirk Scotland
Hmmm no we start with a bigger peace an we nap it into the shape of a leaf then we pressure flaker the edge's I'm native that's cheep bull sh we pressure flake grooves an we make our point straight not curved
Note to camera-operator: in a circumstance such as this, his hands are more interesting than the top of his head.
Need to get my hands on some of that beautiful blue English Flint someday.
Great video enjoyed watching you make that and learning great knowledge
Excellent. A thing of beauty, and practical too, entirely by hand. Thanks for passing it on.
Beautiful. Lost art. I like that you have a young audience.
Thanks for a great lesson!

Did you know that stone was used for tools? Because maybe if you didn't at that age, does that mean flintknapping is an instinctual behavior?

Wow finally a simple straightforward arrowhead knapping video. Thank you!
How many types of flint are there
I have a stone here that tells me a different story on how they made arrowheads....

Thanks for sharing the knowledge, those skills must be preserved.
Very nice to see, it actually is very interesting and might try.

It’s a flint flake not a antler flake 😳
Is any one noticed his right arm
Seems like cheating to use copper.
It’s cheating if you use a dremel, but copper/bronze was obviously used in the same timeframe as flint arrowheads, right?
