Depending on the quality or stones in your area locate or create several of these cutting stones you may find that with repeated use they may break.

Generally rocks like other materials that chip easily are hard but brittle. Now it's time to locate a handle. For this you need a good green stick I. We need a green limb so it will have some flexibly and not snap as we are shaping and or using it.

A good handle for our striking tool will be slighting larger than your thumb width and as long as your forearm. A limb with a narrow Y end "think sling shot" works well and will be earlier for beginners to make. This is exactly the handle I used for this tool.

Another option is finding a thicker limb that the end can be split and our tooling head nestled between. But since we are using no modern tools at all for this build this method is a bit more difficult. Once locating the branch I was to use I used my stone "knife" to score around the perimeter or the limb in the areas I wanted to break it free once scored you will find the limb will break off more or less where you scored it.

It won't be pretty but it's a cave man tool right. We have a tool head and a handle all we have left is combining the two. Set the stone in the fork of the handle and squeeze the handle tips around the tool stone several times. This will 'train' the handle tips to the curve for your stone and if your handle piece is not suitable it will break at this point. Hopefully your handle piece is suitable. I broke 2 before finding a really good handle so don't get discouraged. Now for the hard part, lashing the tool head to our handle without any rope!

That's right we are going make our lashing from natural materials only what we can find or modify with our bare hands And some rocks This step in the build is arguably the most difficult and most rewarding once you learn the art of it.

You will have to find a small sapling limbs, reeds or weed grass or small roots. The issue is finding a natural material that is small but flexible and has a decent tensile strength that can be pulled tight.

Finding a good lash material will take a lot of testing. Some advice, I've had best luck with small tree or bush roots. You can use it for hammering or bludgeoning something such as a weighted club. The weighted club could be one of the deadliest ancient weapons. Now, hopefully, you never find yourself in a situation where making homemade weapons is going to be a necessity for survival.

But, if you do find yourself in such a quagmire, this little bit of information and inner caveman training may be what saves your life. Which of these homemade weapons do you want to make?

Please read our full disclaimer. I have tried this, but stones available here in the Los Angeles area are mostly granite and limestone and do not work well for knapping. Yes, I made a pressure flaker out of copper by melting old pennies and a lead-filled copper bopper.

So I prefer to go back only to the early iron age. I have found that I can make a halfway decent steel knife out of scrap iron, a hammer, and a piece of railroad track for use as an anvil. In fact, I frequently make my own Xacto blades out of a large nail.

The edge is pretty good due to strain hardening. For larger work that my hammer has trouble with, I just heat it red hot with a welding torch, and it gets nice and soft and workable.
