I popped it out today. A little more chunky as I thought I would thin a little with the deep serration. Not so.
It is a nasty cutter. Excelent TX Georgetown. Thought to be pre Clovis, not Wells.

Thanks gents.
I am a little surprised at some of the gnarly comments lol. --mean, nasty, demon, fear,
 tissue ripper, scar maker, gruesome and ouch!
Makes sense since you can't really handle the thing without Stigmata.
BTW the ones found below Clovis have an exceptionally smooth or ground stem. I may experiment with it as a saw.
Then resharpen.

Hey Bub,
The fish have started bitting. Is there any new stuff from Gar on the Slayers?
I hoped Crafty would post his cool SSers lol.

I haven't heard much more about the SS's.
He's still pulling in a ton of points, and plenty pet woods.
He's thinking about opening a pay dig.
Wish I could afford to pay to go dig a hot spot.
I'd just assume spend that money on some brewskis and go stare a gravel bar.
I'd put in a solid 8 hours of work on the farm for one of them Pet wood beauties.

Hey Zume Zume, Marty has been doing some work lately with sloth slayers.
I'll keep you posted on his progress.

Also, I'll try to find some pics of his and brother Crafty's slayers to post up.

Gosh Jack,
How did I miss your post!
That's one neat SS replica.

I looked on the net and you and I are there. LOL
