I Tried Making 2 Arrowheads in 15 Minutes… @GulfCoastKnapping

Uploaded June 2026 | Updated September 2026, 1 hour ago

I challenged myself to something I’ve never tried before in knapping: make two finished arrowheads in just 15 minutes using flint/chert.

It starts with a single boulder, where I quickly strike off two usable flakes to serve as blanks. From there, the clock is running nonstop as I try to turn both pieces into finished points before time runs out.

No extra materials. No second chances. Just speed, control, and pressure.

This is one of the hardest fast-paced knapping challenges I’ve done—where every strike matters and every second counts.

Let me know if you think I made it or failed before the timer ended.

I Tried Making 2 Arrowheads in 15 Minutes…

$Can I Save This Cracked Rock? Most flintknappers would probably toss this piece of Flint River chert in the scrap pile. A deep fracture runs right through the middle, and one wrong strike could ruin the entire rock. Can I remove every bit of the crack and still end up with a finished point, or is this one beyond saving? Watch as I test whether patience, planning, and careful flintknapping can rescue a rock that looks like it’s already finished.

$The #1 Beginner Flintknapping Mistake Most beginner flintknappers don’t fail because of their tools—they fail because they don’t know where to hit. In this video, I break down one of the biggest mistakes I see new knappers make: choosing the wrong platform. I’ll show you how to identify the best place to strike, what angles to look for, and why one small change can completely transform your flintknapping results. Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been knapping for years, understanding platform selection will help you remove longer flakes, reduce step fractures, and make better arrowheads.
