Welcome to our site

Custom Flintknapping Tools (CFT) offers a full range of weight forward copper percussion tools.

These tools are NOT copper boppers!
We call them "hafted billets." They are SOLID COPPER billets with U. S. oak handles. (the term "hafted billets" is the exclusive property of CFT)
They have the advantages of boppers but not their shortcommings.
The smaller tools (7/8" dia.) are designed to thin and shape preforms.
The larger tools (1 1/8" dia.) are designed to reduce nodules and large spalls to preforms.
Our largest percussion tool (1 1/2" dia.) is designed to drive of the large flakes so important to producing thin points. They are also heavy enough to remove spalls from

We also offer micro-flakers.
Made from 5/8" diameter copper stubouts weighted with lead.
Stubouts have hemispherical hammer ends that are about 3/16" thick. They are three times as thick as bopper caps.
These small tools are used to straighten and sharpen the edges of stone tools in preparation for pressure flaking.

We now offer a travel kit. This item is also a good choice for beginners. Please check out the Products Page for pictures. This kit includes the following:
5/8" micro percussion flaker,
7/8" percussor,
1 1/8" percussor,
two pressure flaking tips (one soft iron, one copper),
pressure tool holder in handle of the 1 1/8" percussor, and
compact plastic box (9"x5"x1.25") to carry these tools.
Pressure flakers are available. Our version of pressure flaker is convertible to an Ishi stick by adding an 18" solid oak extension.
Optional indirect percussion tools are available.
