I challenged launditch to make me a dragon firesteel. He rose to the challenge and i took delivery just in time to take it camping last weekend, on a Scout Leaders skill sharing weekend.

Everyone who used the steel managed to throw great sparks with it, but I got so engrossed in what I was doing that I forgot to take photos....:eek:

Anyway, here is what I took delivery of, shown with my charcloth tin, some firework safety fuse (takes a spark better than char cloth!) and plumbers hemp for taking the ember to flame.

I love this steel as it has a real presence in the hand and it's the only one of its kind:D

Just got my steel so I figured I'd bump :D

Not much to say really - great steel, well made, throws good sparks - worth every penny :D

Could you do me one like this one?...

If you could make the inside oval about 45mm long and 25mm wide so I can get two fingers inside it that would be perfect to fit me. Supposedly these are the easiest style for a beginner to use? Let me know how you want the payment to be sent. If you have paypal I can do it that way and I'll cover the fees so you don't lose out.

Just a quick note to say I received my steel from Launditch1 today. The workmanship is spot on and and the steel must be good as even with my amateur attempts I'm getting some great sparks from the set.

If I ever wear it out or break it I'll be back for another, I'm really pleased with it. Anyone wanting a good steel for a good price look no further, these are first class.

Cheers Launditch1
