The Sharp Flint Flake is a sharp chip knapped from flint. It is the starting point of the stone tool chain.
The flake works as a crude knife in any recipe that asks for a sharp knife. It is also the material for knapping. Knap Stone Blade, Knap Stone Chisel, Knapp Flint Saw and Knap Stone Drill all start from it. Make Crude Stone Axe binds it to a Tree Branch for an early axe. Knapping is the skill behind most of these.
Flakes are knapped from a Flint Nodule, foraged, or broken out of mineral deposits. Using Research Craft on one teaches Knap Stone Blade and Knap Stone Awl. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Knapping is the main craft. Each recipe keeps a hammerstone, mallet or knapping tool. Knap Stone Awl needs no skill and makes an Awl - Stone. Knap Stone Blade makes a Stone Blade at Knapping 1. Knap Stone Chisel takes two flakes for a Stone Chisel at Knapping 1. Knap Stone Blade Scythe fits the flake to a Tree Branch or Medium Handle for a Stone-Blade Scythe at Knapping 2. Knapp Flint Saw makes a Flint Saw at Knapping 3, with Twine or Leather Strips. Knap Stone Drill makes a Stone Drill at Knapping 5, and also needs a chisel.
Make Crude Stone Axe binds a flake to a Tree Branch with two weapon bindings. It needs Maintenance 1 and gives a Crude Stone Axe.
As a cutting tool, the flake stands in for a knife. It can cut leather into Leather Strips, carve wood into a Stake or Long Stick, and open cans. It wears out quickly with that kind of use.
How to Get Sharp Flint Flake
The Knap Sharp Flint Flake recipe makes one from a Flint Nodule. It needs a hammerstone, mallet or knapping tool, which is kept, and no skill.
Flakes can also be foraged. Breaking a mineral deposit with a tool such as a Club Hammer gives flint pieces and flakes. Taking apart a stone tool with Dismantle Long Implement can return a flake as well.

Locations
Flakes are uncommon in loot. Anthropology classroom display cases hold them most often. University storage has them now and then. Attics, closets, garages, halls and living rooms turn one up rarely. Survivor safehouses carry a few in boxes, crates and on shelves.

Notes
- The flake counts as a sharp knife, which helps before any real knife is found.
- It dulls fast, so a spare flake is worth carrying.
- Research Craft on a flake teaches the Stone Blade and Stone Awl recipes.
- A Flint Nodule and a hammerstone make a new flake without any skill.
