Great knife!  Cool pattern on that point.  Got a close-up of it?  O wait, is that the other side of your leighton notch point?

Man P.D.!

That is a Beautiful Knife!

I like that Crazy looking point too...
Looks like some challenging rock to work?

Thanks for comments on the knife.  George that is a new one I made today.  I have been spending the day knapping and making a mess of things around here.

Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

You are so right about the challenging rock.  It is only good 1/8 of an inch below the cortex and all of thoses line want to create steps.  The stone is also grainy but it worth all of the work for the color.

Thanks Will! I went to the hardware store to buy those copper nails and about died when I saw the price so I think I am going to make a punch from some of my thicker copper wire. I love those points you have been making and I think I will try to make one this weekend.  Do you use a board below the point and does it have a hole drilled in it?
