Beautiful work.
What strikes me, tho, is that his knives are shaped like steel knives.
 That shows a real mastery of flint knapping, but I wonder whether
those are the best shapes for flint knives considering (1) the
brittleness of flint, etc., and (2) the need to remove material (i.e.,
by flaking or possibly grinding) to sharpen the knives further.
