Best Answer

A knapper is a person who shapes flint or other stone through the process of knapping,

Knapping is the process of making stone tools, mainly flint, by hitting the flint in such a way to produce a sharp edge for cutting or scraping.

The knapper would use a harder stone than flint in this process, this was called a hammerstone.

Hi, It may be difficult to obtain natural knapping rocks in your area. I would suggest joining a knapping group in your area and buy or trade for some suitable rocks. It shouldn't be too hard to find a "primitive skills" or "bush craft" group nearby and they will certainly be able to help you get a hold of knapping materials.
