Post by: Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive on January 14, 2013, 10:24:44 pm

Knapped about all day today.  Got the sore fingers to prove it. Came out with 11 finished points, Only had 1 break..grrrr  could had 12!.  >:(       All are knapped abo and from spalls and flakes..       In addition to this I also shot about 30 shots with my bow and hand drilled a fire just for fun while "on break".      :P       I'm now tired, but have this cool handful of points, non of which Did I have this morning

very nice points!  On a good day at work I can get out 8. But not all the same size like those.
