Abo tool kit?
« on: November 16, 2010, 03:54:59 pm »
Howdy,
Does anybody know where I can get a complete Abo tool kit? I want to try my hand at knapping but want to do it with Abo tools. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

get yourself an antler(or dogwood) billet, antler tine pressure flaker, small hammer stone and a piece of thick leather for a pad and you'll have it!  ;)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

you can buy it or gather it. look into what you have around youre area first. good tough wood will work for pressure flaking and a nice river cobble will do the percussion work if you dont have antlers available. even some landscape plants like boxwood can be used if ya dont mind tearing into your neighbors garden.  >:D
