| My Ishi sticks are constructed from a 20 inch long piece of 7/8 inch diameter structural nylon. This material is more expensive but experience has shown that it keeps the setscrews from stripping out much better than the Delrin most vendors use. This nylon is machined on a lathe to accept the most popular size copper nail in BOTH ends (not one end like some of the cheapos on the market). I now offer 3 different styles of Ishi Sticks. My Standard Ishi Stick with copper nails in both ends, my Abo Ishi Stick with an antler tine in one end, and my Combo Ishi Stick which offers the best of both worlds with antler in one end and copper in the pther. Each nail is held in place by two setscrews. Refill nails or antler tines are available on this site. |
| Smaller 5/8" diameter with smaller different size copper nails in each end. Only 18" long for compactness. Extra flex for longer flakes. Lower price! |
