minus-squareLeeks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 months agoSky rocks bored of being in sky, so they come to ground. Ground rocks want to be in sky, so making them into arrowheads better. Also they fly longer.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoYeah, but this stuff is so much harder than flint. You have no idea how difficult it was to knap. I’m thinking I can re-use this thing 10, maybe 12 times.
minus-squareLeeks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-22 months agoWith how many arrows you lose, it won’t make it any longer then normal rock!

minus-squareLordGimp@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoPretty sure flint is harder than iron. Flint is a 7 on the Mohs scale, while iron is typically between 4 and 5.
