What to do with worn out flints?

[Tom A Hawk]

I even made a holding clamp for pressure flaking. The flints can be a little difficult to hold firmly by finger pressure alone.

Not as sophisticated as Tom A Hawk's gizmo, but I use a Vise Grip w/leather to hold tiny flints.

Throw them away - not worth the trouble to be messing with them.

Are you aware that every time you throw away a worn Flint a 19th century Angel dies ?

Same here, another reliable grip vice is any Flint lock jaws, it doesnt have to be the ML youre going to use the Flint fitted.

Well - if that angle is not dead I will make sure he is dead by throwing two or three more at them to make sure they are . They are only useless rocks after the have served their intended purpose.

I put them in my wife's flower pots. Don't have the emotional strength to throw them away.

I have locks in 3 different sizes so I save my flints. About once a year I’ll pull the diamond tile saw out and reshape the old ones to the next usable size. And yes safety glasses are a must, luckily the water keeps the flint dust at bay.

It reveals a lot about a man's character when he has an empathy for cast out homeless Flints.

You obviously have a Flint socialising disorder, please get help from Geological counsellor.
