Whoaaa! You really need training missy !! Simply keep the back of the knife in contact and scrape along the flint length. You may have to repeat the process a couple of times. And be careful, We will worry about you!!
you rock! your very enthusiastic about it and you believed in your self that you could start it....very good job! I loe starrting fires...im a pyro...but VERY safe..job well done!
Good job! I was rooting for you through the whole video. It is a great feeling when you know you can start a fire without matches. Heres a tip for you,get some cotton balls and rub vasoline into them. All it takes is one spark and that thing will burn great,many outdoorsman carry some with them when they go out in the woods. Well take care
Thanks for the lesson. Not in firemaking. In showing how you did it. People commented how you could do it better. A new way to learn! Like - Look how I do it, can I do it better?
If you scrape the knife against the flint stick You will yeild alot more sparks. Your Tinder was perfect. If you scrape your knife against the Flint rod rather than striking your flint rod on the knife, you will be able to spark a fire everytime if your tinder is that good.
I realize that...I am going to make another video to do it right next time...this was my first time...but now I know the right way to do it... :-) thanks for letting me know
That is so cool! Congratulations, a lot of people talk about doing primitive skills....but very few get outside and practice it. Glad you like the knife, it was so great to see it put to use!
great job bro

I thought that was raw flint you were using?
All you need do is scrape..
Well done though

you don't need to hit the firerod against the knife! a scraping motion with a lot of pressure will give you a better spray of sparks.

Perhaps do some more research before posting next time...
Your tinder was good but put in a motly ball, you should plan the layout of it better so you have a better chance of catching the sparks.
Don't be discouraged

you are putting too much effort into it, the speed is negating the effects of sparks
