Post by: Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive on July 23, 2012, 06:36:46 pm: i really like this. the thing i love the most is it supports the simplicity of actual "arrowhead". i continue to hunt with bi-faced points, but i think those solid edged points would be just about perfect. I kinda use a combination of both for my current hunting points. but overall really enjoyed the video. perfect little skinning impliments as well!

Post by: skyarrow on July 24, 2012, 10:40:03 am: That's what I was thinking the notches were to perfectly round as if copper was used. These remind me of the gift shop points. I'm not worried I have a good display case to put some nicer points in :)

I just finished 20 or more points made from flakes and you are spot on about having good flat flakes to start with and it requiring so little time. Great demo also scott and I watch a guy making flake blades at devilshole knapin using an ishi stick. He held the core with his feet and pushed with both arms from above.
