Another flintlockers tool. :thumbsup: I made a simple, small knapping tool.
SUPPLIES NEEDED: 2 inch length of 1/4" OD copper tubing (Won't cause spark), and an antler tine.
TO MAKE: Tap one end of tubing together until the opposite sides touch. Use a punch to put a dent on the center of the flat edge. Fold it over until the opposite edges touch forming a small "V" shape where the open ends of the "V" touch. Drill a hole in the tine to accept the copper tube rounded end. Put half into the tine using epoxy or some adhesive. You can shorten it if you need to.:v
TO USE IT: Press the center of the "V", applying pressure, against the front of your flint. Push in and down. This causes small chipping flakes. Walk it across the front of the flint.
After sharpening, shoot away! :applause:
Those who can- DO!
Those who can"t- Talk about it!
