Very clean flaking on those, as usual!  Awesome, awesome, stuff Paul !!

Got your box of rocks today.  They look great!  I love the tan and yellow colors.  Can't wait to break 'em... ;D

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

You guys sure know how to make a fellers head swell up ::). I really do appreciate all the inspiration.

When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

     Sheesh!  @$#%$*% Trying to get back into the swing of it........  yeah right! >:(  I wish I was just half as bad at knapping as you are!  I just now got to where, I can run a flake more than a 1/4 of an inch!  Still can't work that Texas stuff as I don't have anything to heat treat it with at the moment, and don't have but a small piece or two, and I am going back to Montana the 14th of this month.  Anywho, those are just awesome!  As usual!  Really nice work.  My luck, I would get a nice long thin blade like those, and be all excited about it, and end up dropping it, or breaking it into three pieces, just before it is finished! :o :P :(

Looks great Paul, so glad you beating up rock again.  We'll have to get together some time here soon.  I need another lesson.
