amatuer flint knappingby johnjayrambo111115,256 views
Jim, I have general question on Abo. I see at the Hearst Museum website a Yahi pressure flaker, much like what Ishi used and it is very similar to your Abo pressure flaker except they have large metal nail instead of a shaped antler. Would you consider Yahi pressure flakers to still be Abo?

@Wertak68 Interesting! I did not know of the Yahi flakers. I'm guessing they probabIy used antler flakers as well. I guess I would not call any tool using steel abo but of course it is acceptable. The antler flakers do work well and in some ways better than steel but mostly is is just personal preference....

Is that a whitetail deer antler or something else like moose that you are using?
kyletango 10 months ago
@kyletango Yes, it is a section of whitetail deer antler sectioned into a thin strip from the main beam, not a tine. As the antler wears down the cordage or string wrap securing it to the wood handle can be removed and the antler can be moved out a bit. These antler sections last a long time and work well. A similar pressure flaker was found in a cave. ...

Have you ever shot one of your tips?
Dancerpro1 11 months ago
@Dancerpro1 Yes, I have used both flint and obsidian arrowheads on arrows and atlatl spears. They work very well. Chert or flint points tend to survive missed shots a bit better.
