  • @bowlie100 You need to use a high carbon steel for a striker, a file works well, and you can use a fire with charcoal, and blow air into it. You will burn your hand if you use such short pliers. Hope this helps :)

  • @BackWoodsPuppy What pliers? I'm using O1.

  • I just came across it and it was so unusual and had such a wide face I had to have it. It’s not better than anything else it’s just unusual…

  • Nice instructional video

    what type of liquid is it on that bucket and what do you use it for ??

  • It is oil. It is to harden the steel causing it to spark well. This is just a short clip of my 30 minute instructional DVD on how to forge a flint striker. In the DVD I go into complete detail on what I use and why. Thanks KT

  • @ThomasIronworks I was replying to someone who asked what steel they can use, and if they can use needle nose pliers. :)
