I've got to sit down and try that.  I just seem to wander into point mode when I sit down.

Thanks for the kind words.
Everyone who knaps should try a stone hook or three or five.
They are easy to do and work very well at catching fish too.

Phyancord,  I do, they work, and work well.
Its been a while but I've got sinew string, switch cane poles and a good selection of stone hooks and jigs assembled and ready to go.

Thanks again!
I have fished all my life. When I started knapping I tjougt of a hook but took a couple years to ever try one. Then after I made one I thought that's cool but surely it wont work and would break too easy so I sat on it for another year before I ever got one wet.
Once it hit the water and I was hanging fish left and right I was hooked. I probably only caught one out of ten strikes that day but it was awesome. I've since learned more of how to fish them and get the fish in but a lot of them still come loose because there is no barb and not much penetration either unless it pokes through some soft tissue around the fishes mouth.
I been gonna video fishing with one for sometime and hope to do that soon, but I struggle with posting pics bad enough.

That's pretty darn cool there. I pretty sure I'd break it in two before I got I done. Probably just before I got it done.

Zuma, I've always wanted to do something eccentric. I like hooks for their usefulness.
bjorg you never know till ya try,
Phyancord, I have. Broke every one trying to put a barb on the inside of the bend. I've made a couple with the barb on the outside but they just don't look right

I caught myself staring slackjawed and drooling at that fish hook.  So elegant.

Thanks JW.
Stone hooks look best when wet.
