This nice flint let me knap it with
out the need of pressure flaking.

Thanks leOn
Bob,
Since I am not as stone poor as I used to be I
push it a little more than I used to.
I have always been satisfied with an abo look.

Love the look. I agree with the "abo look" you mention, its ready to use as a knife as is, so stop flaking and start cutting! It's easy to forget that most of the points we are are copying are resharpened models, many of which probably started life looking more like yours.

You know, with making forms like that, you are one step closer to being a quartzite knapper.
