Title: Novaculite friley

Made this little feller from a novaculite flake.
I've found more of these than any other kind of point.

I dont know if it is the color or shape, maybe both but it reminds me of a shrimp or some sea creature...very cool point!

and to think, the swacker mechanical broadheads think they created something special, i wonder where they came up with the profile?

Real nice!  I assume the smaller ones are harder to work.

thanks
Hawkdancer, Smaller points are easier in a lot of ways.
They can be hard to hold steady but it takes less pressure and a shorter flake to reach center and a lot less flakes down each side.
They can be made from small rocks or flakes to which are easier to get.
