Steve, Just Wow. I got to hold the side notch last year an they are redder and better than pics can show. Truly amazing pc of stone and excellent knapping make a combination that can't be beat, Thanks for showing them Steve.

Thanks guys, I am really happy with them. I was worried the points would fall apart on the quartz lines. If you look close at the first picture, the big notched point, has a crack in it on the left side about 1/3 down from the tip. Really shows up good on the other side. It was a natural crack that I did not see before flaking the first side. When I made the second pass it really opened up, even has mineralization inside it. I think John will love these, he sure has waited long enough for them. I would like to notch the last blade but am afraid of the quartz at the base.
