Ah, thanks for that.
I thought you meant one of the Army firesteels he's selling.
You recommend this one then? Do you think it would be suitable for fitting a wooden handle to? (That's what I intend to do)
Cheers. :)

well the reason i choose that one was when i attempt to do my own knife i can have a matching firesteel, so i dont see any reason why you can fit i handle thats my intention, as for recommending it, it produces showers of sparks without effort, so yes i would, and it set my tinder off easily, just tried it

Hi mate as promised a picture of the firesteel, it still has a few finishing touches required, but most things that I have lying around here do:)

The wood is striped ebony and really needs finishing properly.

All you need is some araldite, a block of wood and the steel for materials.

Tools, a 10mm drill bit, the drill, a vice (not really needed, but makes life a lot easier) and sand paper / abrasives of various grades.

When it is finished along with the accompanying knife I will post pictures in more detail:).

That one should be okay, shouldn't it?

Has anyone bought of this person before?


they are ok but very thin, i have one> You can light a fire no probs, just small and fiddly, the larger firesteels are a lot bigger and thicker, and to be honest produce a hell of a lot more sparks with less effort, i would go for the larger firesteel kind to be honest,
