Source for flints?

#1 Post by James84 »

Hi all,

Does anyone know a source for flints in the UK? I've had a go at knapping some of my own and got a couple of decent examples out of the core I had. If I can get a few 'better ones', it would be helpful.

Kranks and another source are out of stock. Any ideas?

Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
