The Knapper's Corner
DC Waldorf started flintknapping over 35 years ago. In fact, when he wrote his first book in 1975, The Art of Flint Knapping, there was no popular guide to the art. Now with his other books and the popular magazine, CHIPS, which he started in 1989, thousands of knappers have learned, and the number just keeps growing. However, he has a deep interest in archaeology and works with Dr. Gramly on ASAA digs. At present he is writing a book on Danish daggers and the flint technology of southern Scandanavia.

Valerie Waldorf was a famous artist, illustrating lithics; she illustrated most of our books as well as CHIPS. She also illustrated for Dr. Gramly, with her artwork being featured on this ASAA site. DC and Val also produced many fine videos about knapping and primitive skills. Val was an accomplished videographer as well and with DC editing, the end result was always interesting.

Dane Martin is a co-editor of CHIPS and fine writer, turning out his column in CHIPS, which are well recieved by the subscribers. Mary Martin is a major part in keeping our web page updated and doing the book-keeping, (thanks Mary!).

Our site is dedicated to educating the public about flint knapping. We have pages on the basics of flintknapping, as well as a complete book and video listing. We feature a very popular web page listing as many knapping events as possible. We also feature pages on resources, listing all kinds of materials, tools, special skills, crafts and more. Each listing includes addresses and links to those individuals. Another page lists a Whose Who, giving names, featured skills and links. Schools and classes lists those who teach flintknapping and the prospective dates. We also have a nice gallery of points for sale. Our page has been listed by the BBC as a link on knapping. dc_waldorf_icon
