ishi stick image 20" Super Flex Ishi Stick This is the 3/4" Diameter version of the 20" Ishi stick below. This flexible Ishi Stick has proven itself to be a significant advantage. Here's why... As pressure is applied to the targeted area, the ishi stick begins to flex. This keeps a constant spring loaded pressure on the flake as it initiates. Flakes do not detach instantly, but travel along the preform at a given rate of speed. If you can keep the "push" behind them as they progress, they will go longer and terminate with a desirable "feathering" effect. Sometimes even under small hinges or flaws! Constructed from high quality "Delrin" and Fitted with the hardened copper 20d nail that stays sharp longer giving you consistent flakes with less re sharpening Double set screwed with "cup" style screws for the best performance. Why 2 set screws? It's simple, you can put smaller nails in our tools for more versatility on detailed work. Just move both screws in Simultaneously to center the smaller nail size in the tool tip!

ishi stick image 20" Ishi Stick       The advantage of the Ishi Stick is that your legs are the driving force behind this tool. You guide the power from your legs with your hands and squeeze off longer flakes with ease.
This is our best selling Ishi stick! Made from the durable and flexible 7/8" Black "Delrin", this tool offers performance and reliability. Featuring double "cup" type set screws for the best possible grip on the adjustable hardened copper nail tip. We have the only Ishi stick offering an adjustable 4" 20d hardened copper nail inserted in the shaft. I have experimented with the copper nails for flaker tips and found them to be superior to the older soft copper ground wire. They stay sharp longer giving you more control and longer consistent flakes.
To adjust as needed, just loosen the set screws and feed out more of the copper tip to accommodate for wear. Extend it just a little for deep notch applications or retract it for more power on slab work. The durable and flexible Delrin shaft gives you an edge in "peeling" off long flakes by acting like a spring. This keeps the copper tip "pushing" on the detaching flake as it initiates and travels. This produces a follow through effect. This results in a longer better feathering effect of your flakes.
      
Our Ishi sticks and flakers come with an allen key for adjusting the copper tip.
Important tip: Use your Ishi stick for building platforms too!
