You are a lot tougher than me if you can handle that stuff unheated, and you obviously can. Justin

thanks again guys. the one problem i have with the unheated texas is step fractures, not big ones, but small ones. problem is if you dont take care of them they get get big. although sometimes its easier to get them off when they are bigger. that and i break a lot of obsidian after working the  texas. i drove a flake through the leather pad into my hand after having been working on the texas. thanks again

cowboy..to answer your question  the  deer jawbones I get around 65 the bear jaw I get around 100..because the jawbones cost me 25 ..the deer jawbones and coyotes I get for free, if I have to make a wood handle it runs around 75, just more work involved...wolf jaws run around 120 they cost the most..they are the best looking though..hard to find wolf jaws..mostly I give them away to family and friends and use them as a bartering tool..LOL..gave away twice as many as I have sold..make awesome Christmas presents ...I saved a bundle last year.. :D...I get some exotic stuff now and then and that can up it some because it cost more for that material...all these are old stuff.  I have made probably 50 knives since these...just made one out of yagger bottle bottom..nice green blade..also make some out of windowpane glass...really different..I really like brazilian agate...sweet..no flint around here to pick up but I have made a few from flint that a guy sent me...hope that helps and thanks for the compliment...gut
