3 Professor Henry Balfour has informed the authors of an interesting observation made by him when watching the late Mr Fred Snare at work making gun-flints. He noted that Snare when trimming and removing irregularities from the sides and ‘heels’ of the gun-flint did so with a sideways, ‘shearing’, blow of the knapping hammer.
