Hand Knapped Flints?

[NEW222]

Hi there. I had just broken out my flinter a couple of weeks ago and am getting it ready for this spring to go plinking with. Life had gotten in the way a few years ago, so I have not shot anything for a few years, not even a target! I just cast a bunch of Lee R.E.A.L. and Maxi Ball Bullets for it. It is a Traditions Deerhunter, synthetic stock with blued barrel. So, I was wondering if and where I can get a hand knapped flint for my rifle. The one I have for it now is a bought one that is cut by a saw and ground edge, as it is smooth and flat. I would like to try a real hand knapped flint in it, and was wondering where I may be able to buy a real hand knapped flint for it to try out. Thank you for any help you may be able to offer.

Track of the Wolf is where I get mine. I don't have a Traditions, but the chart seems to indicate that the 5S flint works with Traditions. You can call them and ask them to be sure before you order.

Saw this link on a video a member posted about knapping. I never ordered any, but 1.00 each seemed like a deal. I was going to get 10 and test them out. http://www.ericsrocks.com/gun.html

If you end up ordering some, let us know how they work. That does seem like a good deal.

Stonewall Creek Outfitters. Have better flints, IMO, than ToW. Fewer rejects.

My Deerhunter is the most reliable spark & boom I've run upon. :shake:

I tried buying some from him but he travels a lot and is not a good communicator. Never was able to buy from him.
