Nice chipping.


--- Quote from: Sasquatch on April 16, 2015, 01:07:58 pm ---Good points brother.  I see a flaker behind the points.  If that is yours then here is some advice, if not ignore. I would round those edges so that you can put maximum pressure on it without it hurting your hand.  Then I would sharpen that copper tip.   It looks like your tip is bending.  If so then take that copper and twist it in a drill.  This will harden the copper.

Now if you do not feel like twisting your copper to work harden it. Try some brass that is what I use. It is a little harder than copper but not much. It works well on the hard rock I beat on.
