Hi, Guy's well I ordered my Tools,Now I'm looking for the Blade Preforms,as I've heard that there a great way for beginers to start knapping,But and here's the question can you buy the Blade preforms in this country and if yes where from.

This is a bit belated as you have already sent off to the US but there are no suppliers of knapping tools in the UK other than the odd bit of antler. However they are very easy to make. I make all my own. I buy copper caps from a wholesaler for a few pennies, all you need then it a bit of wood from the local park and you have a bopper. As for copper rods, some metalwork shops have them, all you need then is some tool handles drilled to different depths.

I could make you some blade preforms no problem.

Have a look at the Puget Sound Knappers web site. I am an active member of this group. We have good tutorials on all types of knapping, and tutorials on making your own tools. For inspiration have a look at our work as well. BTW, I sell obsidian preforms in all the colours in both pressure thickness, and percussion.
