Man, is there any kind of blade you can't make?  Nice job!  You're a great craftsman.

Thanks guys, yes the first and last are some rhyolite from Cipriano.  That is some tough rock.

Madcrow, did you use the ryolit raw?  Is that stuff heat treatable?  Did you use copper or ballpeens?  :o I used some copper and it was putting the hurt on my tools.  Just wondering, dpg
