Knapping Obsidian Arrowheads

I also finally connected obsidian with arrowheads. Later in the trip I bought a chunk of obsidian from a rock shop and a friend and I proceeded to pulverize it on a picnic table in Colorado National Monument. I didn't even understand the concept of flake, but it was the beginning of a long obsession with knapping. To begin knapping, collect two loose stones: granite, andesite, basalt, peridotite, obsidian, or flint and place them in an active hotbar slot.

• Flint knapping is the age-old art of making arrowheads and other edged stone tools. Hunter-gatherers relied upon this key wilderness survival skill to create important tools and hunting implements. Many people continue to practice the skill today, including traditional bowyers, experimental archaeologists, and primitive skills enthusiasts.

Obsidian Knapping Techniques

(At least that we know of)

*WE SUGGEST YOU DON'T ORDER SLICES/GROUND PREFORMS with RAW ROCK. SEPARATE ORDERS WOULD BE IDEAL. If you take the risk and order them together we WILL NOT REFUND OR RESEND the MATERIAL that got damaged!**

Our 'cut and ground preforms' are rounded on all sides, thinned out, making pressure flaking and knapping faster. Chipping is much easier because the ground preforms are set up for you to make the perfect finished piece.

Our 'preshaped' items are only shaped into a point on either side. It is still thick like a slab, but still very useful in the knapping world!
