I was a commercial knapper for 15 years, and I know many of the best knappers in the trade. Those are definitely well done, and you know what you are doing. Kudos!

Very nice work, thank you for sharing.

The dark material looks very nice. Is it knapped raw, or heat treated?

Curious which style is more durable and lasts longer. Seems the hafting style/stem is the weak link as far as breakage after shooting game. All things considered, which style you choosing in a hunting/survival situation and why?

These are not my best, but they will take the wind out of a deer!

Very cool. I've always wanted to take a deer with a stone point, but it's not legal here. I still want to learn to knap someday.

Beautiful points, Our local stone is Quartzite, which is tough to work, I can't do it, lol, but admire those that can.

The points I find here are all quartzite, and triangular with no tang....other then wedging the point into the arrow shaft and glueing them in with pitch I can't figure how they mounted them....any experts feel free to chime in...
