Flint is a very hard rock and forms very sharp glassy flakes when hit with another flint. Flint was used to make knife blades by early man and is the ancient remains of sea sponges and are found in layers in chalk. Flint was also used to generate a spark in tinder boxes(a predecessor to matches) and to ignite gunpowder in early firearms.
