smart little tool.

I'm gonna try this

[medicjimr]

Good deal

[Fridabeekman]

How long does a flint last? is it superior to an army firesteel?

[HomeDistiller]

@Fridabeekman they last quite awhile but the sparks are low temp so char cloth is a definite. a fire steel has hot sparks that will easily light tinder directly, this is one step up from a bow drill

[mazadan]

i tend to use worn out tshirts and boxers and a nice little striker tool

[ihoppy]

Nice HF drill press. Mine is wearing out after a year :(

[myrdulf]

I've used the grill also, but I used old blue jeans and an Altoid's tin.

[MyJogger]

I like the striking tool you made Bro.

[RichTheRidgeHunter]

Nice tool. good vid. Thanks for showing us. Let us know if your going to sell the tools, and or some of your knives,

Thanks Rich

Your ability to make gear is always impressive to me SkogKniv! The first batch of char I ever made was from old tube socks...would catch a spark but it has too much elastic in it to be really good char. I have been using old cotton t-shirts since...will give the cotton wicks a shot...

[wulfesinger67]

be carful opening your tin before it cool you char can flash if the can is too hot when it gets a breath of air.

@petervagt I may be making some more. I will let you know when I do.

[petervagt]

@SkogKniv awsome man looking forward to hear from you i may send u a Danish Coffee mug then hehe

[ratbertovich]

You adjusted and fired up the drill to put a little hole in the lid of a tin can? What's the world coming to?

[SkogKniv]

@ratbertovich Never occurred to you that it was already plugged in and out for another project? Sorry but I don't feel like stabbing at it with a sharp tool. That is what drills are for.

[drumgodtim]

@ratbertovich Are you meaning to be rude? If Skog wants to drill a hole or try and chew a hole into the lid what difference does that make to you?

[InTheSticks1881]

The wick is thicker than typical cotton fabric and that might be an advantage. Thanks.

[TheBeebopper]

Did you leave the edge of the steel smooth or with cross cutting?

[SkogKniv]

@TheBeebopper Not exactly sure what you mean. The edges are sanded to be sharp, while also able to provide sparks for strike a lights.

[TheBeebopper]

@SkogKniv I meant for the flint use, I've seen tooled cuts made across the striking face. Vey slim cuts about 1/8" apart as best as I can remember. A variation is to have the striking face punched before levelling. Supposed to be easier to get a spark, but its been some time since I handled one and that was worn anyway.

[NorwegianCrazyMan]

Great :-D never seen this been done before, thanks m8 :-) YEY im first one to see and comment this video :-P
