Tiger stripped obsidian. Hope to test it out on a whitetail this year.

That is a pretty point! You hit it and it will make blood, for sure.

That's an ideal point IMO for deer hunting. Nice work.

Very nice craftsmanship.
I may have to give knapping a shot.
That point is so nice the deer will be fighting over who gets to get shot with it first  ;D

Craig Ratzat owns neolithics. I have had some nice prefors from him. Takes a while to get your order though.

Don't know how i missed this one. That's a dandy for sure and will be a killer. I'm working on a set just like that for this coming season. Like that style..

That point is like art.  Would look great hanging on a wall.  (Would look better on the exit side of a Whitetail).  I'd like oh.....2 dozen for starters.  That is REAL nice, Razor.
