I'm a new kid on the block, and wonder if there are any flint knappers around the Lake Havasu, Arizona area? Thanks
 
you take a big chunk of flint and whack in with antler or (modern way),a piece of copper pipe full of lead with the end cap rounded out.spall, once you get a rough arrowhead shape, take a sharp antler (copper rod modern) and pressure chip flakes to make an arrowhead.knapp.
 
Something knapping in Bakersfield this weekend... they might have a lead on some Havasu locals who are into chipping stone...

Bakersfield Monthly Knap-In, Bakersfield, California
A monthly knap-in is held on the first Sunday of every month. The one-day event goes from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm at the Hart Memorial Park. The park is eight miles northeast of Bakersfield on the Alfred Harrell Highway. Knappers meet at the East end of the park.

Directions: While on highway 58, east of Bakersfield, take the Comanche exit and turn to the north. Comanche curves around 5 to 6 miles and dead ends into highway 178. Turn north on 178 (right) then a quick left (less then 1/4 mile) onto Alfred Harrell highway. Alfred Harrell 7-8 miles goes into Hart Park. The knap-in is 100 yards or so from the entrance on the right hand side of the park. For more information contact Gary Pickett at: Home: (661) 392-7729, Cell: (661) 444-6163, e-mail: [email protected]

bobkat,
You have brought the comedians out of the woodwork!
Merely go to your local gunshop to find ALL the "knapped" flints that your heart desires.
