Taylor, I put ups some better photos:

There are five so click to see them all.
I originally thought the shape was a crossection cut from a
molded piece, but when I started taking photos of it so it could be
reproduced, I realized that it began as heavy guage wire and the point
was made by grinding the outside side of the wire. I think you can
see the wire going into the handle on the first photo.
Thanks!
