who could make me a firesteel?

[tinkerer]

well as the title suggests, i would like someone to make me a firesteel . reason im asking for someone to do it for me is its going to require a bit of skill, as i would like it to be the shape of my zodiac sign which is leo, i think the shape could work well and it would be nice to have something a bit personal. heres some pictures ( couldnt find one on its own so they are all here) not sure how much something like this is going to cost but if your interested pm me and let me know . thanks for looking.

nice idea but I would have thought it would 'catch' on the little 'tail' - you tend to use a glancing blow...... (I'm assuming a flint and steel type of steel of course)

You could over pronounce the top of the curve so this would be the bit that contacted the flint, and you would hold the bottom of the tail, so in use it would be canted over slightly.
