Good ballistic coefficients there, swede.

Keep rockin' with that stuff until you need a few units of blood. That's the key with obsidian!

     Good ones, yep, you need to bleed a bit to make the lithic gods happy.  Watch those little flakes that stick in your pad, and then slice you so bad you bleed yesterday!  ;);D

Those pictures are good, but they don't do justice to the true product.
If you aint bleedin, you aint knappin.
