I have a piece of antler that is shaped like a delicate slot head screw driver.  Sharp, fine obsidian doesn't take much force to make the serrations, so the antler works fine.  Thanks for the compliments.

Awesome point, don't think I've seen any like it. Is there a name for this style?

Mesquite,

It is my version of a "Gunther Barbed".  Most of the originals were from agate and jasper (limited obsidian examples exist in the record).  The style in this form is rather localized to specific parts of South West Oregon (Rogue Valley).  I grew up at the "Gold Hill" site.  Most of the site was destroyed during the flood of '64.  Earl Moore's book Silent Arrows describes the flood water destroying the site.  By the time I was a kid we mostly only found debitague flakes and some small Cascade Willow Leaf styled points.
