A what?

Dakota Kid:
I'm pretty sure it's a pressure flaking palm pad with a cut out groove to allow for unimpeded flake detachment. Basically your flake detaches into empty air. A regular pad could dampen the force resulting in a step. I've never used one, but the idea is sound. Maybe next time I make up a new pad I'll try one out.

gutpile:
