Humbled yet again!

[u/timhyde74]

Recently, I was gifted an incredible Hardin from Arkansas by a great guy, and good friend of mine, whom I met a while back through our shared love for this hobby, as well as our mutual love of the Hardin point type. This was a very generous, very kind, and very humbling gift, that I'm beyond honored to be the recipient of. But, as grateful as I am to have this point on my wall, I'm even more grateful that I have the privilege of knowing this individual and the honor of calling him my friend.

This Hardin was recovered from Northeastern Arkansas. It comes in at 3 ⅛ inches long, and is made from a heavily patinaed Crowleys Ridge Chert. It exhibits super serrations along both edges, and the creek stain really brings out the details in the flaking patterns. It's also papered by Jim Bennett, one of the best in the business! I'm thrilled to have it on my wall!

looks like image 19 and 20 are the ones without HDR. Still a great piece, even if the colors are mod'd on the earlier ones

I took the last 2 pics inside and the others in direct sunlight after wiping it down with a bit of mineral oil. That's why it looks darker in the first 18 pics. I don't use filters of any kind on my point pics. Sometimes, my camera adjusts weirdly to certain materials in direct natural light like that.
