My keeper case is getting full. The top row (7) is from local cobbles I found in a tilled filed. Usually small and full of freeze cracks or tough as hell.1yr ⋅ MSoultz ⋅ r/knapping
I was going for a Gypsum Cave type. But I think I made the stem a little to straight. Oh well.1yr ⋅ MSoultz ⋅ r/knapping

My first attempt that I can call reasonably complete. I'm not entirely happy with it, but it didn't break, which is a first.2yr ⋅ drsfmd ⋅ r/knapping
Probably the best point I have ever made. All Abo. Photos don't do it justice: paper thin, perfectly balanced, 3.1 long. This is what I have been striving to accomplish and perfect for months. An Archaic style Dalton point. 😁 I could not be more happy and excited guys!4yr ⋅ Issac888 ⋅ r/knapping
My first three months ago on the far left, and my proudest on the far right two minutes ago.4yr ⋅ Thunderfox-ostreatus ⋅ r/knapping
The latest experiment. Only about a month left to figure all of my archery tackle out before bow season here.3yr ⋅ Thunderfox-ostreatus ⋅ r/knapping
Didn’t want to waste material so I’m sending cobbles to my friend with a rock saw. He’s going to cut them into slabs for arrowheads and small blades, what width should I ask for? I’m thinking maybe 1/4 inch? These are about fist size4mo ⋅ Extracted_cosmonaut6 ⋅ r/knapping
Anyone able to id this chert? It's like a dark maroon in color (hinder county Tennessee) also glossy and probably the second highest chert I've found here3mo ⋅ rattlesnake888647284 ⋅ r/knapping
Test-fitting a handful of unfinished points into 1/2 atlatl dart foreshafts before final flaking, pitch mounting, and sinew-wrapping. Can't wait to let these guys fly.4yr ⋅ 4036 ⋅ r/knapping

I know it's not knapping as such but didn't know where else to post, here's a slate and bone bowie knife I made last year4yr ⋅ Bristolblueeyes ⋅ r/knapping
Put together some ventilation with a 6 inline fan. I have the draw end under my seat between my legs. I tested it a bit with an abrader and it drew the dust just fine. I'm not sure how long it will work only time will tell. But I'll just keep tweaking it.1yr ⋅ MSoultz ⋅ r/knapping
I got my favorite blades together in one coffee table displays. Mostly different grades of dacite with some silver sheen obsidian thrown in.5yr ⋅ Alfy6322 ⋅ r/knapping
