All direct percussion reduction and flutes with pressured edges and set ups.

Thanks
I hope so too bjrogg,
I have really been enjoying knapping lately.

forgot to mention on the second flute, the bopper lightly caught one ear and sent two narrow flakes running up that edege.
It was a 1-1/4" bopper.
