Paddle billet
« on: June 24, 2012, 03:48:27 pm »
Looking at flint knapping tools and noticed one I don't have or have ever seen used. Any thoughts or comments as to useful or not? Applications?

Used a paddle I picked up from Metcalfe. For a couple years. It takes a little getting used to , but it works great.

I've got a couple of those gathering dust. Used em in the beginning and they worked fine i just prefer round stock.

Just haven't seen guys use them and wondered how they worked. May try one someday just to compare. Thanks for the input!
