I asked what other bushcraft items I could incorporated my copper skills into and it was suggested I make a handle for a ferro rod. Here it is.....the 1970 penny is the year I came into the world.

Loving your work sir!
Its wonderfully refreshing to see work like yours which is new to the forum and not a "me too" piece

I do like that alot.
Are you planning put anything in the chamber of the handle - perhaps to help with the ignition of the fire like a roll of char cloth for example.
Are you planning to make more of these. I would certainly go for one especially if I could send you a penny from the year of my birth to give it the personal touch like you have with yours.

I would consider making these, but only after upgrading to a maker membership. Rules are rules! And to answer your other question, I plan on storing a bit of jute or some char cloth in the handle.

Very nice. When I saw the title I thought 'Great, I've been waiting to see what this guy does so I can copy one'.
But, then I saw the pics (so I might be on the list to order one. Just need a slightly older coin
Have you seen the 'trench art style snuff boxes on eBay?

Wow thats a lovely bit of workmanship there! People would snap these up I'm sure if you sold them!
Nice work CC
When I suggested a firesteel handle I was thinking more along the lines of a handle for a traditional steel like the Tibetan one Wayland has in this picture along with the little tinder box
Picture has been borrowed from Gary's site here
That one may have to wait till spring when I have my forge up and running again. Winter has arrived here so the forge work goes on hold until it warms up a bit! If I get a nice day I may give it a go before then!
