I would be so nervous that I would screw it up and get almost done then break it in about 10 pieces with one whack.

"first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.

Re: Making a Knife, the OLD way....
Probably happened a lot, there's a place I find spear and arrow heads that I believe was where they were made. Lots of chips and broken and discarded points.
I can almost hear the maker cursing in Algonquin as he chucked the broken ones.....

it is worth noting that Otzi was killed by a flint point, had a flint knife, AND had a Copper adz/scraper/axe ! Truly a man of his time, five thousand years ago .. .

Re: Making a Knife, the OLD way....
I've knapped a few chubby "arraheads" in my time from Oregon and Northern California obsidian (Glass Buttes and Davis Creek), but mostly I have converted perfectly good stone to a bucket of useless chips anointed with "some of me own blood."
Probably the most spectacular stone knives are the "Type 1" daggers from Denmark.
