In Isa. 50:7 and Ezek. 3:9 the expressions, where the word is used, means that the "Messiah would be firm and resolute amidst all contempt and scorn which he would meet; that he had made up his mind to endure it, and would not shrink from any kind or degree of suffering which would be necessary to accomplish the great work in which he was engaged." (Comp. Ezek. 3:8, 9.) The words "like a flint" are used with reference to the hoofs of horses (Isa. 5:28). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Flint (or flintstone) is a hard, sedimentary cryptocrystalline silica rock with a glassy appearance. Flint is usually dark grey, blue, black, or deep brown in colour. It occurs chiefly as nodules and masses in chalks and limestones.Along with chert, this mineral was one of the most commonly used materials for the manufacture of stone tools during the Stone Age, as it splits into into thin, sharp splinters called flakes when struck by another hard object (such as a hammerstone made of another material). It remained an essential mineral resource for making fire, including the flintlocks on early firearms, until the close of the 18th century. Since the dawn of European civilization, some of the best flint has come from Belgium and the coastal chalks of the English Channel and the Paris Basin.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Flint tools were made in stone age times by primitive peoples worldwide. Paleolithic tools were relatively simple, repeated small flakes being struck or pressed from a flint until the required shape was achieved. By Neolithic times in Europe the manufacture of flint and obsidian blades had become a highly skilled industry. The blades were polished to a fine level of finish.Freshly made flint tools are very sharp, much sharper than the bronze or even iron blades that replaced them. However they were brittle and easily damaged and could not be sharpened. Stone tools were, perhaps, the first disposable mass-produced commodity.
For specialist purposes glass knives are still made and used today, particularly for cutting thin sections for electron microscopy. These knives are made from high-quality manufactured glass, however, not from natural raw materials such as flint.
