Ouch, that makes me wince just thinking about making a point out of that stuff! On the other hand, that stuff is probably tough enough to pierce armor plate. Nice work!

If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Ed I did that working quartz before. Had a heartbeat in my thumb for two days.
Maddog on material like this all I'm doing is cleaning up the edge. Very little tine work involved.
