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. :)

Those look great! I like that you are trying so many different styles. What is your favorite so far?

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!
