Title: Abo tool kit
Post by: Cherokeephil on February 04, 2016, 09:36:39 am

This is my flintknapping kit. It's just hammerstones that I've found and some sheds that I picked up. I've got more hammerstones but I just thought I'd post the ones I use the most.
I included a few pics of some work I've done

I can see those hammer-stones and antlers have been used. Learning to use hammer-stones effectively is a journey, at least for me it has been. Thanks for posting.

Hammerstones are my favorite tools right now, I love how primitive yet effective they are.

I do the same, but I think I need to get some sandstone.

Also, nice kit.
