I was at a Rendezvous here and met a man in passing who mentioned that someone he knew had told him that the fire piston traveled over to the Americas with the Pilgrims and that it was seen as witchcraft so it never took off like it did in Europe.
Has anyone else heard this before? I have...

I was playing out at the forge today creating new stuff. I made this little two inch two finger flint and steel striker. Im always a little surprised that so little surface can still throw so many sparks.
This is my latest firepiston made from water buffalo horn & Paua shell with a desert Ironwood rod, no tinder pick this time but does have a lube & tinder chamber.

Its all there, tinder compartment, lube compartment, with a pick, and lanyard beed. The knife is for a KITH on Dan Foggs site! Its called "Barbarian". :cool:
