It was made from the antler of the elk. The sharp knife bound on by sinew used to be of flint. With it she evened the hide after it had passed through a process of soaking and drying"(La Flesche 1898:27-28)"The third implement used, the We'-ba-mon, a flaked stone, with which the hide is made soft and flexible, and prepared for the final process of rubbing with a raw-hide rope"(La Flesche 1898:28).antler, horn, or bone; ston
