This is episode 5 of My Flint Knapping Journey. In this video, I’m putting in more practice working on thinning and trying to get better flake removals without breaking the piece. Thinning has easily been one of the hardest parts of learning flint knapping so far, but each attempt helps me understand platform angles, force, and control a little more. Still learning, but slowly improving with every session.
