Those look great John! I like the yellow fiber optic blade, it looks like the light shines from the inside out. Really neat piece!

Well done John. Guessing that sinew was an attachment method used by native man for the most part.

James yes sinew (deer tendon) is the bind the Indians used on some things...Tom it takes him around 2-3 hours or so to knap one out ...He is in Wyoming and the cold makes it time consuming...John
