@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

smart little tool.
-
I'm gonna try this

Good deal

@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.

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

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?

@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.

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

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