loz,

PM me your address and I'll send you a large firesteel without a handle (no charge). Deal is you have to make your own handle and bung a picture up on the site at some point (check out "pimp my firesteel" for inspiration)

Loz.
You dont get an offer like that very often - and when you do it would be foolish to turn it down!

Red,
Have some rep.

Nice one

Thanks for that recommendation, just placed an order with the site now. Contacted him to see if he knew of the BushcraftUK communtiy, and seems like a nice person, dealing with my order very quickly. Very kind offer btw British Red.

Blimey, it took its time

Really glad you got it safe loz - have lots of fun experimenting with tinders and techniques. I know I did. Trouble is it gets addictive and you start in on flint and steel and then bows and pistons

Actually - theres no trouble with that at all!

OK,

Not great but handled !

Handgrip !

Thumbgrip !

I know its a bit bulky - but due to available wood and the crappy GerberGater folder being used !!

Loz,

Damn - is that a firesteel or are you pleased to be here

Lovely work mate

You have rep for "following up"

If you need more - shout (nice to see its been used mate)

Thanks Red,

Its in use but only in backgarden "test mode" at present, yet to use " wild" as it were.

My 6 year old Daughter has it down to a tee !, and continually arrives home from school with pockets of Birch Bark peelings for " Garden Toast making" !!!

Cheers
