Source for flints?

#1 Post by James84 »

Hi all,

Does anyone know a source for flints in the UK? I've had a go at knapping some of my own and got a couple of decent examples out of the core I had. If I can get a few 'better ones', it would be helpful.

Kranks and another source are out of stock. Any ideas?
