penetration with stone points

D. Tiller:
Nah! Its the short sharpenning flakes. I always seem to dull the edges when I make them with copper. Maybe I'm just using too large of a point on my copper tools?

mullet:
  David,one way I make mine smaller is by beating them flat.I use copper gound wire.You can harden it by twisting it or beating it on a flat metal surface.You can feel the heat in the copper after pounding it.Any way ,I flatten it and then file it to a fine edge.Or sharpen it to a very fine point.I think steel works better for this.
