About me - Harold Elam


Hello, I am Harold Elam. I live in southwestern Ohio and I have been flintknapping for about 11 years. I’ve always enjoyed hunting and being outdoors. I started walking the local farm fields collecting artifacts, which sparked my interest in flint points and flintknapping. Copper is my favorite tool to work with, but I started out using primarily antler. My favorite materials to work with are Flint Ridge flint (OH), Carter Caves flint (KY), and Indiana hornstone. I also enjoy making antler handle knives with obsidian blades. Throughout the summer I try to attend local knap-ins and display my work.

You can commission a special point to be made by me, or purchase any point in my gallery.
