I may have a local source to get them hardened, so there may be a few more pointy gifts going around!!!  I got a few from you at the AA but if you have a few more just collecting dust, I may be able to make a few more people's day.  Just a thought for the future as I'm pretty well swamped with knifemaking,hawk making, gun building, arrow making, and turkeybone wing callers at the moment  :knothead:  .Wouldn't have it any other way though  :D    :D  . Looking forward seeing you and Adam again, hopefully we can do a little more extracurricular stumping.
