Alibates

[ToddsPoint]

I have a knapper friend that lives near the Alibates Nat Monument in Potter Co TX. He picks up flakes and debitage the Indians left behind on private property near the monument. He sent me a nice box and I knapped a frame of points. It’s beautiful material and I’d love to visit the monument. As a flint knapper, it would kill me to walk around that place and see all that flint that I couldn’t take home!😩😝

The only flint I know about from WVA is Kanawha black. It’s grainy and difficult to work. I’ve heard there is bluish colored slick hornstone there but have never been able to pinpoint the source. What did your flint look like?

It was a light grey color.

I’m going to remember the name of that town and pass it on to a knapper I know in OH that lives near the WVA border. Thanks for the tip!
