Thanks guys. They are pretty sharp, I find angling the serrations forward makes them sharper

I like to notch the bottom also... cahokia style.. gives the glue more of a contact spot when hafting... those look deadly Marc... great job... Gut

Those look good, Marc. They would look even better with red, sticky stuff on them.

I use hide glue to glue the point in then pitch to seal it.  Never had any problems.

Beautiful work, Marc.  Wish it were legal to hunt with stone points here in Wyoming.
