"What is Flint Knapping?
Source: (https://www.flintknappingtools.com/knapping.html)
Flintknapping is the process of chipping away material from high silica stones like "flint" in a carefully controlled manner with special tools to produce sharp projectile points or tools. Only the purest silica based stones will provide fracture predictability required to achieve the finest works. The native peoples of North America Produced some of the finest flint projectiles and blades in the world. There were countless stone projectiles and tools produced by North America's native people for over 10,000 years, most of which were made as utilitarian objects appearing crude and simple but effective."
