I'm going to give the hands and wrists a break for awhile.

Any chance of a side view? They look like nice thin blades and points.

It takes an artist to do that. Those are beautiful. I tried doing it some years ago, all I could do was cut myself and break them

Always great to see your work, I think my old hands and wrists are not strong enough. I get to where it's time for pressure flaking and just can't do it well. Really makes me appreciate you good guy's work. I end up with a small fat rock that started as a big rock! laugh

Flipper I have made tons of gravel trying to learn the art of flintknapping.Your still in the thrash and bash stage took me awhile to get out of that stage.

Pretty impressive. Put them on the ground and they'd pass for being authentic around here

Shot at a deer once with one hafted to a cedar arrow using a long bow didn't cut a hair!!! Maybe I'll try again someday.

Nice! When they invent time machines you can go back a couple thousand years and still make a decent living here in North America.
