I have a pair of Beaver teeth and they look the same as the ones you have , now I have another Tool for Knapping ! I truly love your videos , you give all of the information that a person needs. You are a Wonderful Teacher ! And I have added so much information from you ! I want to Thank you for what you do ! Take Care and Be Safe

Regarding rodent teeth, the biggest reason why they're so hard (that I'm aware of) is that they actually have an iron based compound included in their enamel which adds a lot of hardness. It's also the reason for the orange or yellowish pigmentation on the front of most rodent incisors, and the reason why they self-sharpen: Since the iron compound is only really included in the front facing portion of the tooth, that part is a lot harder than the regular whiteish back portions, and therefore wears away much slower as the animal chews things.

The 21st century. Where sticks and stones do break bones and words/ names will hurt me.... keep up the great work Ryan. Love that you do your thing and don’t worry about what other people think.

By far the best primitive channel, thanks again for your insight Ryan

Wow Ryan, I'm really impressed by how well that tooth held up against that chert. Excellent video!

Purty slick. It is a possibility that the Cohokians did have copper. Objects for ornamentation have been found. Apparently there were trade networks across the country, seashells from the gulf, mica from the Appalachians, even obsidian from the far west. According to Laubin beavers tooth was used for crooked knives and carving. Just makes sense theyd use other teeth for tools too.

Teeth of mammals and the material of tusks of mammals are comprised of dentine, cementum and enamel along with a pulp cavity. So, technically they are the same thing. Just an FYI

True. The difference in rodents is the minority ions are iron instead of magnesium like ours.

Hey Ryan, I really enjoy your channel and cant wait to start flint knapping for myself. Watching this video made me think of a suggestion. You should try using a turkey spur for pressure flaking. I don't know how well it will hold up but would like to see you try it and remember the older the gobbler the finer the tip haha. Good luck and thanks for sharing your knowledge on a dieing art.

Greetings Ryan, I love your channel and have watched most of your videos several times. I have a suggestion for the fingernail flakes left on the surface, try a dental pick. They are very sharp and thin just the right tool for those problem areas your fingernail can't fix. I have been inspired to make my own flint knapping kit. I am in the process of collecting the ingredients for pine pitch glue. Scary stuff but I live where I can get sap readily, I will be watching that video several times before cooking it.

Love your channel. You need to make a trip out to glass buttes Oregon someday. Where there is literally rivers of obsidian. We have some with gold sheen and silver sheen. Occasionally rainbow, purple, and “lizard scale” obsidian. Sadly this year I didn’t make it out there but besides the heat (high mountain desert) the knappable material is endless.

that's what i hear. I have worked a lot of it, but never been there myself

I imagine a Neanderthal 60,000 years ago, with probably no functional language, sitting outside a cave making Clovis pieces we still marvel over today. She was hungry, maybe pregnant, barefoot, in a primitive landscape of zero human development. With predators after her and she after prey. And she made these tools. And defended and fed her young and survived. And we are here today because of that.

King Arthur didn't pull the sword from the stone. He just knew his platforms lolol ✌😂

I eat 3 or 4 winter porcupine a year. I'll have to check out the tenth. I know we used to use split beaver incisors to make our crooked knives. Also, your on Turtle Island, America is the occupying force.

Ive used beaver and muskrat for notching but always was trying to find a better way to haft them. Should have kept it simple like youve done there.

Very nice good stuff right there. No dought was a bit of knowledge the old boys had

Have you ever heard of Flint Ridge? It's an ancient Native American flint quarry right outside of my hometown of Newark, Ohio. There are quarry pits all over the park and huge amounts of flint.

Ryan, how does the coper pressure flaker compare to the porcupine tooth flaker?

6th like yessss my favorite primitive archery channel

Do you think that porcupine quills would work? I have heard that some can be extremely hard.

Here in southeast Iowa its hard to imagine deer season without frost and or snow.

Curious if a beaver tooth would do the same.? And for carving

....I was wandering if you have ever done a penetration test between Cahokia, Pedernales and Clovis points.... ....like they say....you can't please all the people all the time....

Can u pressure flake with a screwdriver?

You are not hardcore until you use a mouse tooth. Ha! The videoing is great. Very good picture. Warthog, Norwhale, elk, walrus all are ivory and carvable.

I've thought long and hard how to make narrower and deeper notches with abo tools. I've filed bone and antler down. The idea do use a rodent tooth never crossed my mind...

people ask in my videos all the time where to get things. I have to tell people where to get the products or they blow up my messages and comments. If you are referring to the youtube ads, take that up with youtube. They make up the rules on that stuff. Sadly if I dont monetize my videos, youtube wont show them to anyone because if they aren't making money on ads, then they have nothing to gain by showing them to people.
