Ishi Stick 3/4" Dia
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!

20" Ishi Stick 7/8" Dia. 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!
