Production Cues Still Using Spliced Points?

I'm a forum newbie and cue collector that was discussing how many factory cues are still made with spliced points (we used to call them "pointy points")?

The only one I could think of off the top of my head was Adam. Huebler isn't making cues anymore and McDermott, Viking and Meucci are all using, as far as I know, flat-bottom inlays rather than V-shaped splices. Am I missing any cues or is Adam really the last mass market cue to use old school splicing?

TIA

Predator sneaky petes.

I have an LE willie hoppe predator, which is basically a dressed up sneaky with veneers and a wrap. It is a true spliced cue.


Keep in mind there are a lot of CNC'd cues with sharp points too! Many cues are made with inlaid points, then sharpened up by hand. Not a real splice at all.
