This is used, but I only used it a couple of times, before I came up with the "knapping jig". Alot of knappers love these things, it does help when you are knapping pre-cut preforms. The cut channel allows for a more progressive and productive flaking scar. You will notice a minor amount of wear on one side of the channel. I gave $15 plus shipping for this bad boy, but, I offer it used for less than what I gave for it..... I think with the shipping I paid, it came to over $20 for it.
