Flints, again.

[EricH]

Hello,
I thought knaping was hard till the older gents at my local club showed me how easy it is.
At half cock grip gun around trigger gaurd with right hand(if right handed shooter)butt under armpitt. Place index finger under flint and support most of the weight fo the gun on index. place index about even with front of flint. Light raps with knapping hammer at about a 45 deg angle. You will be hitting both the flint and your finger. Walla a sharp flint. The thicker the flint the harder you will have to hit usually.
Give it a try, hope it helps.
