Flint Knapping

I was wondering if anybody here practices flint knapping as part of the SHTF/TEOTWAWKI preparation?

I've been experimenting with it. I started just practicing percussion and pressure flaking but, with the current piece I've been fiddling with, I'm thinking of seeing if I can turn it into a serviceable leaf-point arrowhead.

Anyone else break rocks?
