PS: After hours and hours of surfing over the past few weeks, and talking with website administrators all over in the UK and France who have large groups of knowledgable members who specialize in hand knapping various flint objects, the finding is thatTom Fuller is apparently the last remaining outfit that makes "gun flints" using the black English flint...and he's near retirement age...it's a lost art and if that shuts down, expensive French amber flints will be the only remainingalternative.

So with thisrare opportunity of being able to get them at'cost', Iordered a few hundred and won't ever have to worry about having high quality black English flints available the rest of my life.
