Great Lakes Fur trader style firesteel

[launditch1]

Heres a new style for me but copying a much older style from the fur traders of Northern america.These are made from a one piece of toolsteel, a file in this instance, i split it in the middle then forge it into the shape you can see here.They are on average about 4 1/2in long but i can make them any size you want.Thanks for looking.

Excellent sparks.£12 posted or will trade for Beaver fur.
