I don't buy flints any more and have a life time supply of Keokuk heat treated chips from spawls for making arrow points. The flakes left from point making are perfect size for gun flints,especially pistol size which is what I make and use, 5/8" wide by 3/4" tall.
I make them for a fellow pistol match shooter and he really likes the thin flat ones. The chert seems to resist edge cracking better than the black English from TOTW.
