Here is a small black glass knife blade I just did yesterday.I will sometimes make arrowheads just to see how close to the Indian style ones I can get.

I have not been doing it for very long. You should post what you made. Anyone who really does good knapping can see my stuff is not that good at all my pressure flaking is anything but uniform and I need a lot more practice. You really need strong arms as well as strong hands to do this art. Twisted copper pressure flaker and an ishi stick was the best investment I could make. It helps to have the proper tools. I still have to learn how to use the ishi stick properly. I would love to see your arrowheads.Mine are not near as good as that. That's awesome!

Be looking out for them. Makes you appreciate how good the native Americans were at knapping arrowheads, spear points, knives and tomahawks when you try to make your own!I'll post when I have some pics.
NiceHere are mine. I found the small ones In the match box for 10 cents at goodwill with a bunch of other match boxes With matches in them. I don’t think they realized the arrow heads. The large one my dad gave to me years ago
