This style of point is really something.  Any chance you would be interested in doing a step by step pictorial on how you get that serration on the point?

Nice point.  Great serrations.  The rock looks like Buffalo River.  Bill

Yep, primo as always.

Hey Shannon, I echo what Lee said. Maybe you could put together a few pics showing how to make the serrations. It wouldn't have to be a whole point, just show how to set up and make one serration. Thanks.

I agree with Bill.  Looks alot like Buffalo River.   My buddy Erik has a bunch and he says it is his favorite flint to knap.  Nice point Shannon.  :)

Thanks Timo. Looks like the secret is being able to lay down that flake pattern before you start the little serration points. Yikes, I'm in trouble!
