I like how you approached those square edges. Most knappers reflexively zig-zag them, and there is indeed a time and place for that, but they miss what you did. If you look from the top or bottom of your biface, the corner of the square edge is nothing more than a ridge, and you can send nice wide flakes down a ridge. I like to make that opportunity happen from the tip end, if I can, because it'll be narrower there anyways, but sometimes the base is a better opportunity. Very nicely done sir!
