finding knappable rocks im pensylvania?
i am a beginner at knapping and im getting tired of making glass blades and working so hard on one large glas knife only to have it break in half ): does anyone out there know that kind of knapable roks are found in Pensylvania and if soo wha t to look for and where to look
The link below is NOT mine and I am not selling you stuff, but it is a link to other knappers and their sites. Some sell the rocks like onyx, and other clastic volcanic rocks that have to be baked in an oven to Knapp properly. Some sell the raw ore. They also go into how not to get ripped off. Some of the rock types are listed that are knappable.
Your question lies in a book on Amazon.com The roadside geology guide of (your State's name). That is pretty close to the exact name. I have had one for Colorado and Virginia. I am sure all 50 states are in copy.
Slate is a common cheap rock. As is flint is some states.
Good luck I hope you are enjoying the sport!
