 Me neither. The fluted one looks real to me.

Both of them are real nice
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Jamie, i like that wintu style point
i was gonna give one of them a try tonight myself  ;D

the fluted one is nice too
i have several that look almost identical to that
most of which are gonna get reworked and become something else
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd

great job jamie!  Those Wintu's are a real hard point to do, especially when you start to turn the notches upward.  I always get too big of a flake and it wipes out the part that makes them look upturned.  Then they just look like a deep side notch!

Nothing at all wrong with those, nice work. On those Wintu/Ishi points, I usually get one side notched perfect, then pop the whole ear off the other side taking that "one more little flake" trying to make it look perfect.

Like Pappy said ;D.....I may just be ignorant but I'd strap either one to one my flying telephone poles, and put it clean through some poor-unsuspecting Michigan whitetail....I think they are just beautifull.
