Works out to about a dollar a piece I don't think that's overpriced! I've seen some websites sell Amber French flints for $4 a piece

Prices to compare with . English Flints, knapped by Tom Fuller - Track of the Wolf

Don't. I bought a pound and paid the extra for "hand select". Worse flints I've ever seen. Forgot the exact count but I threw about a third right out. Another third or so are maybe usable and only the last third are good. So not such a good deal after all. Quality of modern flints is much higher

My sources informed me that Tom Fuller retired some years ago.

There were plenty available at Friendship this week, both black and amber. Anywhere from $25-$30 a dozen.
Yes expensive, but it’s nice being able to hand pick them plus not pay shipping. Hopefully I’ll have enough now to last till next year.

That's exactly what I did...hand picked flints while at Friendship.
Several vendors has small boxes of them there.
I get the exact ones I want with no shipping necessary.
