Bone Point question
« on: October 12, 2009, 08:30:00 PM »
So me and a couple of friends are going on a hunt and we are gonna use only selfbows, bone points or stone points. Anyway I am making some bone points and I am wondering if I should make a serated edge or just sharpen normal?
Its not the size of the animal you hunt that matters. Its how you hunt the animal.

I've been building selfbows for 20 years and I this same inkering about 10 years ago.I've never used bone points I knapped my heads out of texas flint and river cain.I killed 3 bucks a doe and 2 spring turkeys in 3 years.
   Texas flint it's hard,durable and sharpen's really well.Never had one break.
