Your work is always something else.  Wow.  I bet that knife with the triangular point would be really useful.  Like the design.

Nice work. I especially like the one in the lower right hand corner - the corner notch with the long needle-like point. Rick B

Excellent work as always! Looks like a few of those could have been fluted!  ;)

Thanks guys.  I've been practicing a lot lately trying to figure out how the old knappers avoided step fractures on the points with really thin edges and weak platforms.  The key is having a very smooth preform, carefully ground edges, and lots of support for the flakes (soft leather pad).

Crafty, you have truly outdone yourself and I didn't think it was possible given the high degree of craftsmanship in everything you do.  True excellence.
