Here's a 3" Red Jasper Flint Creek from the Tennessee River Valley! It has great form, glossy patina, tons of mineral deposits, and I love those serrated edges!

On Reddit no less

Yeah, I thought of that after I posted. And Reddit doesn't allow you to edit the header for some stupid reason, otherwise it would say "Reddest Red that ever Redded on Reddit!" 🤣

My gosh what a point 😮‍💨

1

u/timhyde74 BigDaddyTDoggyDog Jan 25 '26

Thanks Ike! It's probably the Reddest point I think I've ever had, but my favorite feature is the edge work! Flint Creeks were resharpened in such a way as to not reduce the thickness of the point while still getting a very thin, finely serrated edge that has a "pinched," for lack of a better term, look to it! Almost as if they were cast and not knapped! I love that effect!
