These solid carbon steel spalling hammers are suitable for reducing raw blocks or nodules of rough material into usable spalls and flakes.  We use these same hammers for reducing raw Novaculite and Keokuk from its rawest block form, right out of the quarry.  For spalling brittle material such as obsidian or glass please check out our brass spalling hammer or large solid copper rod/bar stock.
