Splitting a Rock to Make an Edge
1.Splitting a rock in two can be
a relatively easy undertaking,
provided you find the right
rock. Use a larger rock to
hammer the smaller one.- Here, I’ve made a perfect split.
- Given the right material, a
split rock can be used effectively
as a cutting or scraping edge,
and can be further sharpened
by rubbing it against another
rock. - Your rudimentary rock knife
has many uses, so keep it
safe. Here, I’m making tinder
by cutting into a dry branch.
