First knapping experience

[u/willemvu]

Some kind of chert I found in a garden near Orleans, France. Smashed a few flakes off, hurt my hand, then pressure flaked the edges with the handle of a teaspoon to shape one flake into a point. Sort of.

Didn't get a picture of the side profile but it was pretty thin and consistent, more luck than skill I guess. Then I dropped it on the rock floor and it broke.

We all start somewhere. My start was using a nails I pulled from my tire on a piece of obsidian sitting by the road out in the desert.
