Over here, they tell us to wear leather gloves, dust masks and safety glasses when working flint. Do you take any precautions?

Personally, I didnt wear any protective gear until i got a cut hand then o put on gloves. Then i stabbed my leg so i use a thick pad. Then i nearly got a peice in the eye so i got some googles. I think if your knapping you shoudl use protective gear defo. I use a dust mask now and again. but prefer to work outside and there is plenty of wind to carry the dust away so should be alright.
