Nice flake tools, here are a few pieces from around here.

This is an interesting Quartzite flake tool with a blade on one side and a graver on the other.

Very awesome you two.. keep them coming !!!! When it comes to flake blades size doesn't matter haha

Yeah rocks last one looks huge, almost looks like a hand axe.Would like to see the other side. I like the first one you posted showing some good time spent on both sides. That last curved blade you posted is a monster, almost looks serrated. Awesome finds all around. Might have to dig some up in the a.m

Flake Blades! I find so many that I only keep the ones that appeal to me. I find more of the smaller ones than the longer spalled core flakes.

Have posted the larger one in another post .A small flake worked on one side only and a 2 larger flake knifes. Pics in random order ........ I think the small grey with white flake with one edge worked is my favorite ( 4 pics of it ).

The tan one? It was one of my first artifacts I have found. I knew it was different than a rock so I carried it home. Got me looking after I found out it was a blade.

Good looking blades painter!! Thanks for sharing. Yours looks alot like mine, best i can see in my phone.

There's a lot of flake pieces that were utilized without alot of work visible.
It doesn't take very large piece to do the job of cutting.
