I use a breakstick that I made out of a nylon similar to Teflon it is shaped like a pistol, gives you more leverage than a straight one, and won't break teeth. it is about .750 thich taperd to nothing and about 1.00 wide, the angle of the handle in relation to the mouth piece is more than a 45 and less than a 90 works great, I made it at work. My catch dog is hard to get off especially if it is a rank hog and the "pistol grip handle is a benefit". We don't kill many but if you do he turns loose on his own as soon as the hog dies.
Wow that sounds cool, I would like to see that parting stick.
I have a nylon one and a wood one, and they are both shaped kinda like a knife with a little more rounded edges.
Red, search my post and there is a pic of a pair I made like he is talking about.
