I spent yesterday learning to flint knapp at the Moot & want to get myself some bits of Red Deer antler horn to do pressure flaking & soft hammering with. So I am after the following bits:
- Antler points: wide enough to cross my palm diagonally & stick out a bit so looking for bits that are 6 inches plus; longer bits up to 12 inches are good but don't want really short bits (a few inches, that I already have). Ideally I would want 3 of them of different lengths from 6 to 12 inches
- Thicker straight pieces to be used as soft hammer. The ones I saw were again from 6 to 12 inches long & varied in thickness from 3/4 to 2 inches. Again a selection of 2 or 3 would be good, with a small & a medium size being ideal
I would like to get a few but single pieces would be good to get me going. Reasonable price paid for them & to cover postage.
