Nice one Steve. Wher did the ferro rod come from ?

It was the flint from a BCB survival kit. I think I'm gonna take a little material from the knife scale and try and form an epoxy end bit on the rod to match the scale shape like the toothpick has?

Brill! Great idea!

Nice, saw a video with someone doing it with a regular huntsman, looks like you've have managed to get a more substantial rod in that one.


I do find it strange why Victorinox hasn't explored the idea.

Good idea, you can buy epoxy putty, I think Wilkinsons do it in a blister pack or Halfords as a stick, which would be just about ideal for making the handle part.

Neat idea, another one I have seen is to make a mini fires steel about 10mm long on a key ring.

Excellent idea. I wonder if that SUGRU stuff that John Fenna reviewed would make an end piece to the ferro rod?

The key ring I saw was made out some mouldable epoxy putty.
