Not been knappin long and that's the best you can do. You better send them to me and I'll get rid of them for you.  ;D ;D ;D Mike

flecha:
Wow!!! That's some very nice work.   Many of us wish we could learn as fast as you have.  Keep it up.

Marvin Campbell:
Thanks for the comments. :D   The blade on the obsidian knife in the top pic is 3 1/4 inches.  The smaller dacite knife blade is 2 1/4 inches.  The dacite point on the lower left is 3 1/4 inches.  I have been trying to learn to knap for several months, youtube is great for information.  

This series of videos is on knapping slabs.  Watched these a lot before I started making points from 1/4 inch glass.

This series of videos is on isolated platforms.  I was getting some pretty bad step terminations before I watched these.
