Having my share of flintknapping (including on obsidian) both in cub scouts and in college as an anthro major, best advice I've ever had on it is to always strike away from you so you won't wind up with a lap full of shards. For obsidian specifically, it was definitely learning the hard way to always have band-aids within easy reach. While the blade definitely looks good, Mesoamerican cultures made the macuahuitl how it was for a reason: lot more practical having smaller, often more durable bladed portions you can replace rather than one bigger, far more fragile blade.
Macuahuitl is strictly a weapon particularly when one forces charging through another it is used to slash the opponents and let the guys behind you kill them. Small Stone blade such as he has yes sometimes are used as weapons but primarily were used for hide processing butchering and processing food
There are sickles from I want to say Grimes grave area made from antler using small sections of Flint blades in the same manner as Macuahuitl were made
That's very cool! But as it is volcanic glass, it's very fragile, you see, and isn't well-suited for use as a weap- *knocked out with a wooden baseball bat*
When I was younger I used obsidian I found in the yard as an exacto and it worked surprisingly well. The stone blade stays sharp for a while but dulls fast
hey Nate, there are some tools to make for flint knapping that are really easy to make for some percussion knapping with some wooden dowel and copper end caps. you can even fill the end cap with lead for some more weight. steel is a little too hard of a material for knapping and can lead to more energy going into shattering the chips and material instead of breaking it cleanly.
I watched a reel of someone with a piece of deer antler and a wooden mallet to strike off nice long chunks. I'm no expert on the subject, but the hammer made me wince.
Watching this guy handle an obsidian knife without gloves was giving a panic attack😂 these knives are hella practical. They are the best cutters and if you can a point... a stabber for sure. They make great concealed weapons and undetectable by metal detector. I would love to have a water jet dagger blade made.
Scalpel have been used in medical field for a long time. Even to this day, certain surgeons use them as they supposedly minimize scaring and can be sharper then steel scalpels
If you want to continue knapping, definitely look at adjusting your angle of attack and picking your platform (place where you hit the rock) as ways to improve your results
That came out really nice. It's really surprising how sharp obsidian cut like that is. Knapped stuff I'm well aware of but the water jet is pretty impressive. Especially since it is not a hyper precise kind of finish and may not follow the 'grain'.
Disclaimer: my hatred of geologists is purely theatrical, but if I did have to kill one for some reason, it would be very easy. I’d brandish my obsidian knife at them and they’d be compelled to approach. “That’s very cool,” they’d say, confident in their superior strength and endurance from all the rocks they carry around at all times. They’d shower me with very interesting facts about obsidian and hover just out of range of the cutting edge, waiting for me to exhaust myself. “But as it is volcanic glass, it’s very fragile, you see, and isn’t well-suited for use as a weap-” and then I’d hit them with the wooden baseball bat in my other hand, which they would not have noticed because geologists can only see rocks and minerals.
@@aguyyouwillneverseeagain1178 they had copper, flint, chert, dacite, etc, as well as stone tools that were ground rather than knapped, which were nowhere near as brittle, but the most highly prized was always obsidian.
Obsidian is very close on the hardness scale to opal. You could use the same rub, cut and polish methods as opal cutters use to get the shape and edge you want. Great video and educational to boot.
Knapping is extremely difficult. That why most native arrowheads are half finished and broken. Respect to all the old school natives regardless of origin.
that obsidian flake you used to test sharpness is sharper than any steel blade can ever be if you want to learn knapping you can probably find a group or event in your area where you can go get some hands on teaching
knapping is truely an art. i did a bit of it back in highschool i would go along the railroad tracks looking for broken bottles and actually my percussion rod was an od railroad nail. very bold of you to start off on obsidian i fealt fairly intimidated by just using glass. and those cuts are just a risk of the craftsmanship. the scary part is the material is so sharp you will see the blood before you ever feel it. as for the flake patterns however, i found that if you apply preassure on the side edge and try to apply the preaure morecentral in regards to the material its more likely to taper a little more evenly, and as for any blade the more gradual taper the less chance of haviing a weak point.
those lines in the obsidian i imagine are like the grain pattern in wood, i want an obsidian knife or scalpel with a monomolecular blade plus a chisel or two
hold on. if you still have some of the broken chunks. get one of those uv camera lens filters. and glue them to it and then hit it with some hairspray for a haze effect. and you can make it look like a cave entrance.
I can't count the times I'd suddenly discover a blood trail over the shop floor at work. And it was always the same: "OK, so who's the bleeder? Oh, never mind that's me. Can someone break out the mop before it dries? I have a hole to plug. Now superglue or electrical tape?"
@@SoulDelSol Used to use electricians tape, but I went to superglue instead. Stopps the bleeding faster and I think it heals better. Just be careful you don't glue something to somewhere you shouldn't... Edit: Oh... I'd already said that... Been a while so I forgot what i had wrote...
hey Nate you should grind and polish the blade to be a bit thinner on a diamond wheel or flat lap. i have one and can polish from 1,000 grit up to 100,000 grit and can polish it nice and smooth if you wanted some help doing so
Where I work they sell obsidian arrow heads which I got 1 and put a cord round it to turn it into pendant, my is not very sharp being a gift shop item but looks cool
Just subscribed. I quit the other, a long time ago. Watched a few of yours. So much better. I'm 62 years young. Love learning more than I knew. Keep it up, mate. Greetings from Dimboola, in Victoria, Australia.
Obsidian is my favorite material and I really want to have all kitchen utilities made of obsidian, like atleast a knife, a fork, a spoon made of obsidian.
Ok... only a minute thirty into this video, and I'm expecting to see some (or evidence of) blood letting. Obsidian flakes, even the waste from knapping, is exceedingly sharp. Look at it wrong and it'll try to cut you. Yep, called it. First blood at 4:23, and he hasn't even started knapping yet. Obsidian can get sharper than razor sharp. It can potentially be a single molecule thick at the edge, much sharper than steel can get.
Interesting... I've never tried knapping but I've read up on it as I was looking at historical techniques for creating tools. The sources I found talked about how the knapping tool should not be to hard. Preferred tools were made of some very hard woods or more often bone or antlers. The knapping was only done by tapping for the rough shape and to thin out the "blade". To shape the final edge and shape pressure was put on the obsidian using the knapping tool and small slivers snapped off. Now this is all only theoretical as far as I'm concerned, but I'm throwing it up here for those with more practical knowledge to critique. I've seen incredible knives made from obsidian and flint, but never talked to anyone who actually made one so I have no idea what the "correct" technique really is, if there is one... Loved the video though. Practice beats theory every time. Though sometimes theory can improve the practical part.
Percussion for the spalls and thinning, pressure for the finish. A good knapper can do it all with percussion. And be aware, many knappers “cheat”, and start with cut and ground slabs and then just pressure flake the edges, sometimes with jigs. Lots of the nicer blades are done this way, especially when ppl are selling them.
Just picked up a 2lb chunk of obsidian to make a knife and realized I know nothing about chipping rocks. So I came here and you are def my number one choice.
Well my thoughts are 1 the grain structure of the slice more than likely is in the wrong direction of you trying to nap 2 using a hammer to break the obsidian wasn't napping you needed to watch backyard bowyers videos he has a lot of techniques
Didn't they traditionally use obsidian for like hunting tools and not so much crafting tools? Because it was so brittle and easily broken if used on harder materials.
To break slates, you should not place it on the floor but rather hold it in your hand and give it that sudden hit and pull it just at contact. I hope I'm making sense.
Check out How To Make Everything for his video about melting obsidian (then trying to cast it) it seems like something that should work, but in practice doesn't turn out very well.
Those inclusions in that chunk make it tough to knapp, and steel isn’t the best thing. Also, wear gloves with obsidian, as you know now, lol, I’ve had tiny flakes from percussions go deep into my fingers. One took years to come out. For that reason, I rarely bother with obsidian, I always end up bleeding, even WITH gloves. It can and will slice right through a good leather glove. Cool vid
I relate to so many parts of this... 😂 Oh, I cut myself... Apparently... As there is blood coming from... Somewhere? (Continues to finish what I was doing while still bleeding...) Oh, and this bruise here, couldn't even begin to tell you what happened there.
I love the poetry of using Bloodwood for the handle. EDIT: I just maxed the res and read the label... Redheart, not Bloodwood. BOOOOOO! But if you want it to turn brown and wear down, that's your call.
Maybe you should invest in some cut resistant gloves if you plan on doing this again in the future and if you plan on testing how sharp something is i'd grab a sharpness tester. Shaving your legs with something that sharp could only end up going horribly wrong or you could end up slicing a finger off.
The sharpness isn't really a problem when testing by shaving. It's the serrations and micro serrations that get you. Same with straight razors. Any chip or micro serration is instant risk of cutting yourself. Well a increased risk of cutting yourself. Straight razors do take some technique to use safely.

Props to anyone who can flint knap or glass knap. That type of material is really delicate, but can produce some beautiful objects.
Obsidian knives were used for eye surgery up until the advent of surgical lasers in the 1990s due to their unparalleled sharpness.
