QFT.

This is a fact. I've been cut before by flint and I reckon the obsidian is even sharper still. For Fuck's Sake, mind your eye protection. Your hands will heal, but one of these "flinters" might just go right through and stick on the inside of your skull.

Knapping, I've do a little. Mostly to form the flints for my flint and steel firemaking kit work. I have a big hunk of flint downstairs, how much are you thinking about starting with?
