  • The Perfect Chopper

    I would like to take credit for this chopper but it's 98% luck. I knocked a piece off a big rock and this is what popped off. I ground the top side and did a little work on the bit. I was going to use this to make a point but it's such a perfect chopper that I just can't hammer on it. On the one side is a perfect thumb hold and on the other side is a perfect four finger hold. The lucky chopper is a right handed tool. And hey I'm right handed. I used a different piece to make a point today.

      Your knapping is looking good Ron, I agree with Josh it does have a Thebe'ish look.
      Chopper looks like it should work good!
