The degree of satisfaction gained from the accomplishment of a goal is directly proportional to the hardships and challenges overcome in order to achieve it.

Keep it, keep it, for it's your first. There's nothing like still having your first to compare with as time goes by. Bloody hell if looks could kill (in this case it probably would) it looks truely great. A job well done.............Bill

I say use it and shoot something with it. Much more memorable IMO if it's is your first point, and you kill something with it. If it just sits there, then how do you know if it works or not?

tony,
should we put a wager on how many fingers clint will have left after trying to knap while having a few beers, a couple of wines and a bottle bundy?

Well-done, Clint! If I was to try that, it'd have to be with ginger beer bottles. 
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

otis is right....you haven't been knapping if you aren't bleeding!
