Master the Art of Flint Knapping – Precision, Durability, and Tradition in Every Strike!
What is Flintknapping?
Flintknapping is the ancient craft of shaping stone into tools or weapons by striking or applying pressure to the material. This technique was used by early humans to create tools such as arrowheads, scrapers, knives, and axes.
Multi-functional Thickened PU Leather
Based on previous customer feedback, we created this leather tool bag. The thickened fabric and stitching make it highly durable. While flintknapping, the bag can be unfolded and placed on the thigh, turning it into a thick leather cushion to protect the thigh.

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2024
this is a good kit ( although it should absolutely contain a thick piece of hide or stiff rubber and a abrading tool) for those who want to try napping flint. I highly recommend starting with antlers and stone tools for napping to understand how it was done by ancient peoples before using copper, antler and stone is much harder to learn, but will establish whether or not you will stick with it and make using copper tools a much more enjoyable experience. The price was pretty agreeable and it arrived on time and in perfect working order.
