I know how to flint knap and have all I need to make a lifetime supply of flints. I will GLADLY give someone 2.50-3.50 a piece. Gladly.

How do I order them?? I need a few that are longer than the normal size to ensure my frizzen kicks all the way open. Thanks.

Mike makes some good chert pieces. They spark really good and last through many hammer falls.
BTW, Howdy Mike!

Hey!

If you can’t afford the price of a humble flint perhaps you should find a cheaper hobby. BTW I don’t see any bitching about the price of black powder along with the flint rant.

I recently got an order from Karl Lee. Came out to around $2.50 per flint and had free shipping from England

Can you provide a link please.

Cheaper hobby? Rots of ruck. No hobby is cheap these days.

 

[Coinneach]

Seriously can you name just 1 thing that has not risen in price?

How

Fur.

Except beaver, slightly up ; about everything else crashed a few years ago.

From what my Expat Army mates tell me, the price of Beaver in the Land of Smiles has actually dropped considerably this year.....

 

[Coinneach]

Of course we do. Let's everyone know we're still breathing.

And snoring between farting sessions.

Best thing about muzzleloading is you can save money by learning to make your own supplies. I learned how to make powder which I can do for pennies on the pound. One out of the three ingredients I have an almost limitless supply(willow tree in my back yard)so that costs nothing. I make my own ammunition and have enough lead to drown a horse so Im set there. Again little to no cost. I guess if need be I'll teach myself to knap flint to save even more money.

Making flints ain’t hard. If I can do it, anybody can.

We were so poor that my family couldn’t afford to clothe me.
I had to stay inside ‘cause I was naked!
For my 15th birthday my dad bought me a hat so I could look out the window.
