Knives of Flint, Spring, TX
Self-taught flintknapper Stacy Reeves of Spring, Texas, began to learn to knap flint, i.e. making arrowheads like the Native Americans did, in 2001. Having converted tons of rock into gravel, and after countless Band-Aids, he has perfected the art of flintknapping, replicating what the Ancients did. Many modern souls have a desire to reconnect with their ancient roots... and flint tools are the perfect outlet. Hunters of today are now replacing their steel knives in favor of the superior flint blade. Discovering, or RE-discovering, that flint is sharper and holds an edge much longer than steel. Besides selling quality crafted knives and sheaths, he gladly gives demonstrations of flintknapping, turning a fragment of rock into a useful tool while educating those who watch into the many aspects of the art.
