Hey everyone, I've always loved those litte, intricate, mean looking "bird points" that are really small. Everyone seems fascinated with giant stone blades or Clovis points that are 7 inches long and made from exotic, colorful chert. But what about the little screamer arrowheads that are so fine and intricate that it takes a magnifying glass to see the flake scars? That's what I like. Any of ya'll who can make those little points, be proud! Post some pics! Go against the crowd, shun those who take a giant piece of stone and only make one point out of it. I want to see examples of your finest flintknapping in miniature!

Have you guys ever tried the tiny Mesolithic microlith points found in Britain?
