I take you step by step through the various stages of reduction of an Oregon point type that is somewhat difficult to manufacture. I demonstrate a variety of techniques from beginner to expert in skill level.

The abrading creates a heavy edge so the tool has something to hit. The result is a good flake. Try and take a flake off a sharp edge and it will just shatter.

what is the purpose of scuffing up the edges?

I use a pressure flaker in the early reduction stages to help create the exact angles I want before I take a flake with the billet. For finishing the piece, I often run several series of pressure flakes to sharpen the edge (see final videos).

Being in the city we have all kinds of great sound effects; such as trafic, buses, sirens, helicopters, planes, dogs barking etc…

The train whistle in the background is a nice effect… very “outdoorsy”
