I'll have you two to know, I meant to do that!   I was shooting for the "authentic" look :P
  Most of the real ones are not perfectly symmetrical either ::)
 Steve, I'm mostly pressure flaking them. I've had to punch a few flakes out though.

     Yeah, but those were by the novice knappers in the tribe ;D......that's why they were found, and not used...... ::)

     Still a beautiful point Shannon.  You do make me aggravated with myself, when I can't get the flakes to run as far as I would like them to, then I see these.  Yep, you need to take a break for awhile, and rest your hands. ;D

Wayne, it's all in the wrist ;)...and the flaker
 Is the tip on your flaker round and pointed without any flex?

     Well the flat one is sort of angled, and one that is flat like a screw driver, and I have a round stock one, that is sort of rounded on the end.  Neither is exactly flexible......

I like mine shaped like a small flat screwdriver with the tip about 1/8" wide. I like to run it out just far enough that it flexes a little as I press the flake off. The "Snap" seems to push the flakes a little farther.

Great job on those Shannon, I think I like the last one the best even if the tip is "authentic". ;)

We need another smilly icon. One with little hands bowing! Those are nice.
