firesteel

Don't know if this is the right forum but since it relates to a firesteel I'l start here. I have for several years had a firesteel attached to my key chain. Next week I'm flying to the UK for a business trip. Question is, will the firesteel get me in trouble with UK customs or air security? No...

I customized a 9mm firesteel. IMHO the Swedish "Light My Fire" brand is by far the best quality firesteel out there. I've tried a lot of different brands...If you buy one be sure it is the "ARMY" model, the smaller "Scout" is too small to be handy. The shower of sparks is better on the 9mm...

It's been a while since I last forged a few strikers, so here's my newest batch of strikers made from the best source of high carbon steel available :) These strikers send off a flurry of sparks against a sharp flint, and are quite probably the best batch I have made for the purpose. A light...

Firesteel Modification

Inevitably, at every firemaking seminar I teach, somebody suggests using dryer lint as firestarter. According to some folks, you should carry dryer lint and a flint stick in your survival kit. My response is that I have tested and tried dryer lint, don’t carry it, and recommend you...

Hello everyone, I buy and use around twenty fire-steel blanks a month either through my courses or my knife sales, I used to buy from jx metals in china but the rods were so hard you just ended up with ridges all down the steel and had to throw them away, I now normally buy them from...
