Well I finally made it to the store that was supposed to have the BSA Hot Spark guess what (can you see a pattern) they didn't have any and didn't know when they were gonna get anymore

Well I guess I can try the next closest place but it's almost a hundred miles away

Better luck next time I guess

Some of my vintage matchsafes...

BSA - has a rod down the center attached to a cup which lifts the matches up

Marbles

Sherman-Park Everdry - my favorites

Out of production Olicamp Matchsafes. The yellow one is powder coated, done for me by a friend.

Once again some very good looking kits there. I like the yellow set, nice and easy to see if you put them down.

Man Spork what do you do with all that stuff

I'd say you have one packed garage or at least a very packed room

Great stuff everything I have seen

i´ve never even seen blast match in my life,it seems good though.i have some basic firesteels from LMF etc,this aurora i fixed a bit and it works too,and rat cutlerys fire kit,its a bit large to be in small survival kit but its good for rucksack or somethin.and also few small ones that i dont want to use cause im afraid ill crack em in pieces,theyre like 3/16",tiny ones.

The Blast Match is the best firesteel on the moment, no doubt about it! The ability to shield wind with one hand and shoot sparks into your tinder with the other makes two handed firesteel's look inferior!

yeah,ive seen some youtube vids of blast match but ive always wondered the part that does the scrapings,whats it made of,does it get dull or someting? i assume not,cause it just keeps selling

Leatherman123 · **Reply #220 on:** February 26, 2009, 01:51:21 AM

It's made out of carbide.. So you will most likely wear out the firesteel before the integrated striker!

By the way, welcome back!

Tarrodemierda · **Reply #221 on:** February 26, 2009, 02:04:38 AM

so theres a spring creating pressure,thru carbide striker to the firesteel itself?

i thought it has some kind of bent leafspring kind of sharpened steell inside.and i thought that it must weaken in time.
it looks good since u can use it with one hand,and has the small storage too.

im not back,man

,im just a nail of coffin at most $:-\$ .

im havin a day off,and just chilled with my gf as im headin to laplnad again at tomorrow evening,for 80 kilometer trip that takes like week or so.although i enjoy and love nature and hiking,at this time im pretty frustrated and exhausted but hey,summer is waiting.
