 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Jamie, to get those serrations I work off a continuous platform centered on the edge of the point.  I run flakes across the face with the red arrow first...from base to tip. I do that on each side.   Then I go back and abrade the hollows left from the first pass on the opposite side (the one with the green arrow). I do that with a diamond file and abrade towards the face I plan to flake next.   Abrading towards the last face brings the edge/platform back closer to center.  I flake he last pass from tip to base.    Once that is done, it's a matter of fine tuning the points on the serrations and slightly hollowing them out.

Stickbender sounds like a good idea to me ::) I,m almost sure he could get something respectiful out of that boat anchor. Shannon all three look exceptional but I like the coyote jaw knife the best. Had to laugh your trying to put some age on that jaw an yesterday I was cleaning an peroxideing a coyo skull, trying to see how white I could get it. ;D  Bob
