Hey! Your videos are great! I was wondering how a scraper like this compares to a flint one that would probably take much less time to knap into shape.
Thank you for the comment! No doubt that a flintknapped scraper would be much more efficient, sharper, and would serve many other purposes. I wish I could experiment that but suitable flintknapping rock types are about 700km East from my location! So I rely on shaping for basic tools as I need them fast to move on to other projects. Feel free to read about my geographical location by looking at the discussion tab of the channel. Many thanks for watching.
Now I will be off to the shop and make one from saw steel! I was looking for a good design and yours does the work of three, _and_ an awl.
I found your channel through reddit and i love it!
Thank you, I appreciate the comment.

Yeah that makes sense. You can't work with what you don't have in the area!
