Small Antler Billet
Small 4-6 oz traditional antler percussion billet. Perfect for flake removal and finishing work on small points and blades. Sourced from naturally shed deer antler, all of our 'abo' billets are domed and can be resurfaced many times. Sold individually. Our small antler billets are 4 to 6 ounces in weight and are perfect for detail work and small flake removal on blades and points. These finished and ready-to-use traditional knapping billets are made from base sections of mule deer antler sheds. The base is the densest portion of antler since it is more bone-like than the marrow filled upper portions of antler. Antler sheds will have some natural weathering but this should not affect the performance of the billet in any way. Shape and color will vary with each billet. Antler is softer than modern knapping billet materials like copper, aluminum, and steel. This allows antler billets to 'seat' on a stone edge platform and disperse the percussive impact without crushing the edge, thus
