I think this is 5. Still need to work on thinning. The majority of it was done with percussion. And my first hand cut. Not so much a cut as a 1/4 inch shard stab!  >:D

Sweet point looks like you could make that thing paper thin w/ some pressure.   Ya got to get the attitude "Break it, or thin it".    That's when I started really thinning points.     After a while it doesnt hurt when they break.       Just my experience.     :))

LOL, I have broken far more than I have thinned. Technique seems to be my problem. I really enjoy percussion, I can send a flake all the way across a point, but then I get scared! No more being scared! I'll get on it tomorrow.
