You beat me to it Jonathan;

My favorite point is the one that doesn't break. Why? because it didn't break :D!

I like the small, exquisite arrow points of the western US (Gunthers, Columbia Rivers, and Desert Side Notched).  You know me....I just love those really intricate litte bird points that just look soooooooo cool when you finally lash them to an arrow.  I've been making some Gunther points lately using all Abo tools (no copper, just antler flakers and hammerstones).  I'll be posting some pics of them on here soon!!!

B.E.C.A.U.S.E. its a fairly simple design to make, requires no notches , has a highly effective hafting area, will work well in any size, from arrowhead to knife.  ;D

p.s. sailor im flattered to even be considered in the same league as the knappers you mentioned. thank you
