Christmas stocking fillers!

[rich outdoors]

Well, the festive season is drawing near and family get together is planned for Christmas week, so... I decided to make some ferro-rods for the kids so we can hopefully have a little campfire competition to hone their firelighting skills

Put the production line into action this morning, and got, this far...

Materials are holm oak and brass.

Thanks for looking, all the best, rich.

Nice work and sounds like a fun idea for a competition but don't forget the scrapers for them, it'll be like giving a toy with no batteries

I'm counting on them all having their carbon steel bushcraft knives to hand

Seriously though, good point, thanks. I will be putting paracord lanyards and scrapers on them when they are done, probably hacksaw blade. I made a custom O1 scraper a while back for my eldest, shaped like a mini tanto blade and polished, in a little leather holder but I think in bulk and with only a month to go I will be taking the easy route for the rest.

Thanks for looking.

All the best, rich.

I'm sure they are nice, but no picture showing for me (iPhone).

Very nice. I'd be happy to find one of those in my stocking

Thanks everyone, I'll try and get a couple more pics up as they wend their way towards completion.

bobnewboy: sorry, I am not sure why you can't see it, maybe the photo is too big, it was straight out of the phone. I've just resized it smaller, hopefully you can see it now.

All the best, rich.

 

[bobnewboy]

Yep, can see the picture now thanks. Very nice

Well, I got a bit sidetracked with work and stuff, but got them finished now. With strikers!
Thanks for looking, atb, rich.
