Nathaniel, I can get the shape etc right, but I can't approach the thinness of the original. Still it's fun to do. For any who do not know the point type, it is "Tribute".

Don, it is fun. I wish you were around here so we could chip some together. If my memory is correct, the original is about 1.5 mm thick. I don't know any knapper who can do that these days. There are some points out there that continue to be a challenge regardless how much we chip.
