Tools - Flakers: These tools are made from delrin, a type of plastic. Each medium or large handle is grooved to add to the grip and prevent slippage. Handles without grooves are also available upon request. The reason delrin is preferred over wood is due to its durability. Wood handles are often quick to wear down as the stone chips away at it and/or the screw will no longer take a set. However, if requested, we will make a wood handle. With standard use, each tool should last 6 months to a year before the copper bits needs replacing.

All tools comes with an extra bit of cut copper, a set screw and an allen wrench for it. Handle size is about 4-5 inches and the copper bits are 1 1/2 -2 inches.

For more than one purchase, only one allen wrench will be sent.

Copper Sizes: Large (6/16''), Medium (4/16''), Small (3/16''), Nail (2/16'').

Copper bits should be kept smooth (or close to) with a rasp as any burs, or rough edges, can cause the flake to break prematurely of go off in another direction.

Note: For beginners, who do not have any tools yet, it is recommended that you purchase at least two sizes and a notcher.
