I was able to interest a guy in a trade for some of my points and he wanted them all obsidian. It has been awhile since I hit any of that shiny stuff and I had to relearn on the first few. All told I only broke 5 or 6 before finishing the set. They are all between 145 and 150 grn.
Funny thing is my buddy came over this morning and he was looking at the blade. I said "now careful this is sharp," thinkin I would forewarn him a little. He picked it up and promptly cut his thumb a nice little slice and said "ouch!!" I just started laughin. He shoulda known better but that obsidian is just scary sharp!

Really nice work Scot.What kind of shafts are you going to use for your hunting gear?Still see that off colored deer around?
-
I got some cane that I am using for my hunting set. I just love how tough and durable that stuff is. I havent seen that deer for a couple months now. I'm sure he is hanging around water like everything else.
