Flintknapping Accessories

They are back in black!

Thick and Soft; Black Leather Leg Pads $19.99
Something really unusual and wonderful for the flint knapper! This leather from high quality hides. While it is soft to the touch with great "drape" over your leg. These are thick and strong, giving you great leg protection. Sized about 12" x 18", large enough to fold if you want.

Jim's Deer Hide Leg Pad

Abrading Block As every knapper knows, one of the keys to getting good flakes is proper edge preparation. We offer an aluminum oxide abrading stone which has both rough and fine grits in one. The size is comfortable in your hand at approximately 2" x 4" x 1".

Flaking Hand Blocks

Bull Hide Triple-Layer Flaking Pads $9.99 (NEW PRODUCT!)
Great for palm flaking! In the picture, we show both sides of this sturdy leather flaking pad. The light colored side is thick Bull Hide. The darker leather side is latigo leather which is a bit softer surface. You will like using both sides! The standard Bull Hide Flaking Pad measures about 4 x 2-1/2 inches. It is about 5/8" thick. Because of how the leather pieces work out, we occasionally have some smaller or larger sizes, too. Please inquire if you are interested in another size.

Some guys like to cut a relief groove in these or cut to fit in their hand. We do not cut grooves because there are several different ideas on how/where to cut the groove and others do not want a groove.

Flaking Pads $3.50 Great for bench flaking or cut down to your hand size. We chose this size as most versatile for all styles of knapping. Hard synthetic material with some flex. Standard size measures roughly 4 x 4 x 1/4 inches thick.
Trimline size (not pictured) measures roughly 4 x 2 x 1/4 inches thick.

Knapper's Bag ~ 24 outside pockets!
What a deal! Jim Spears found these and told me we gotta have these for knappers. Bag measures about 15" long, 8" high and 6+" wide. It is made of heavy, heavy canvas-type material and stands rigid even when empty and yet you can fold it up for easy storage if not in use. Carry your rocks to the weekend gathering inside the bag while your tools are safely tucked into the outside pockets. Shown here with our tools (not included).

POSTERS by Valerie Waldorf

Poster of the
East Wenatchee Clovis Site, WA

These posters are new. They were reprinted about 2003 or 2004. Have to check with DC Waldorf for sure! At any rate, we bought a supply of them from Richard Gramly at Flint Ridge in 2004. At that time, R.M. Gramley and Valerie Waldorf BOTH signed each poster we purchased. Unfortunately, the following April 2005, Val passed away.

This is one of her finest works; a real treasure to have of her work and the famous East Wenatchee Clovis Site finds.

Valerie's skillful technical drawings render an extremely accurate and beautiful
depiction of this remarkable ancient site in Washington state.

The poster is printed on heavy stock and measures about 23" x 34".
You will love it and treasure it for many years to come!

The quantity is limited of these SIGNED posters.
These were signed for me by BOTH R.M. Gramly and Valerie Waldorf
at the Flint Ridge Knap-In, Flint Ridge, OH ~ 2004.

No archeologist or knapper's den is complete without this!

Poster: Story In Stone
Enjoy the beautiful and accurate work of the late Valerie Waldorf.

Val is well known for her work in over 200 archeological publications. This poster features many different arrowheads and blades, drawn of authentic pieces.

Val's technical drawing skills make this a valuable identification asset for the collector of ancient artifacts as well as a very useful study guide for the modern flint knapper. It is a beautiful poster so treat yourself to something really special!

We no longer have any posters signed by Val.

One poster $10.99

Two posters $19.99
