Thanks (Image removed from quote.)

Best keep an eye on yours when Mike is around

He's seen mine but I think it was much too small to tempt him
As if I'd participate in thievery

I think you'd steal the odd heart given the chance

If there nice I may even give it back

My custom Blind Horse Knives flint striker...serial numbered to match my knife. They are a special order item made by Darrell Aune for BHK.

I also recently bought another Seahorse by Darell Aune...this one has filework and is a little larger than my first one.

...and a couple from Allen Schroll of Turkey Foot Trading

My favorites are from Darrel Aune but I've had good ones from other makers...I've got some no-name ones which aren't as good and one really bad one.

If I were looking for a good one I'd buy from a Smith I can put a name to rather than a supplier that happens to sell a striker or two.

I can't see me ever using this method of fire starting but I'd gladly hang one of those sea horses on the wall, they're superb.

They're amazing aren't they. I'd love to give the flint & steel method a try, but those ones I would keep safe

So how much would a filehorsey cost me?

That pot was for demo only the one I use outdoors is out on loan it's a small length of wood about 3 inches long with a groove cut down it's length and a dowel like the one shown is used for the friction,place the cotton wool near wear your rubbing and hey presto cinders to start a fire
