Title: Knocking off a little rust
Post by: jonathan creason on June 29, 2011, 10:38:12 am

I can't remember when the last time I spent any serious time knapping was, but I know it's been a while.  The last couple of times I've tried I broke everything I looked at, so I just sat everything aside for a while and worked on other projects.  Got a little itch the other day that I decided to scratch and managed to knock out a few points.  A couple of these might make the cut for this year's hunting points.

Look like killers to me.  They dont have to be purty to kill LOL.  But those look pretty good to me.

Shoot those look good! I need to just make some hunting points. Ive been concentrating too much on trying to get em stupid thin with nice flake scars and not enough on just making a functional point.

I thought I had said this already, but evidently not.  Anyway, I appreciate it everybody.  For most of the reduction I used this method that some guy named the benadryl midget, or something like that, put on Youtube.  Finally broke down and bought a delrin rod, and it works much better than the dogwood stick I was using.  At the very least it's 100 times more comfortable when I'm wearing shorts.

I know that guy. He's pretty quiet until you get moonshine in him.
