I was playing around in garage and knapped this point.  It had some big stacks from percussion so i tried to chip them off.  It left the typical gauges in the point. The flint is Edwards Chert.     The knife flint is from the Frio river in central Tx.  I picked up about 50 lbs while on a family tubing trip.   Epoxied the blade, for strength, efficiency, and to save length.

Those are sweet.  The tip of that knife is awesome.   Knap On my friend!

That knife is nice. Good chipping and nice hafting. We should get a knappin going for this area. I think we could get a group of at least 4-5. We could do it at my house or wherever the group wishes.

Thanks for the compliments.  WA, you got my brain working.  I'm already thinking of places to host the Knapp-in.
