OTT fire steel holder :)

[Singeblister]

I got fed up with making knives today so I grabbed my fire steel out of my pouch and did this to it I like it but its quite heavy now
Yew and Buffalo horn guilding metal clip hammered concave to fit , pewter spacer.
what do you think ? my daughter loves it its one of those touchy smooth things you just want to hold. you cant really see it in the pictures but the Yew is the same shape as the horn roughly , cant see the curve in the pics
bad pictures

Simply lovely !

Ingenious "locking" mechanism.

Two thumbs up (Fonz style) !

I like that
I've always thought a chunkier handle on a ferro would be a better idea - more control etc.

"coor" it want

thanks guys glad you like it , its much nicer in the flesh , I recently bought a horn of Eric to make into knife scales and the tip was sitting there to thick for a friction folder and looking all fire steely it feels good to have something to hold on to but looked to big sitting on its own hence the bit of Yew may be I should give up Knife making and do these instead

I like that a lot.
