Those look fantastic, but I have to give the Andice a 9 out of 10, the left notch doesn't curve to the right like the one in the picture :D ;) Love the Thebes, though. :)

Thanks John! I'd have to say the Lost Lake is is my favorite so far. Then Andice and Clovis run a close second. I'm gonna try and make as many different point types as I can before I settle on one to try and perfect. But then again who knows. ::)

Nice notching and a really close replication of the Andice. I know one thing for sure, the thinner the biface, the easier it is to notch. Great job!!

Will, I really like your Thebes 8) an I'm going to try an make a few of them, I believe thebes are one of my favorites  to look at but I'm not real good at replicating. Andice looks good also , Ya got that notching down to a science. Bob

Real nice Andice. Re sharpen the right side about one time and it would be a carbon copy or pretty close. Mike Smyth

Great job!!!  Now that you got the notching down try working on the other variations of the THEBES dogleg, e notch... It would make a great display having all them together!
