Burlington flint is real hard to photograph.  I noticed that the tip looked like garbage so I took another picture from another angle.  But now the tail looks long on one side but that is the camera angle.

I have to laugh at myself because I did not finish the last flakes on the tip.  I was going to finish it when I sharpen the tip before use.  I could not figure out why the camera was out of wack but it was me and not the camera.  Funny.

Very nice indeed! I see the color a little better now. And that's definitely the same stuff.
