Making A (Flint and Steel) Steel Out Of A File And Trying It Out!

Such a simple build... Just a $1 Flea Market file, 2 cuts, a 3/16" hole, smooth edges, a Cobra Weave lanyard, and start sparking!
If you don't have a Dewalt side grinder like I used, you can break the file to size in a vise, use a hacksaw to cut the tang, use a bench grinder for smoothing, and use a drill for the 3/16" hole for the lanyard.
After the build I tried it out. I made 3 Flint and Steel fires with some moderately reactive t-shirt char cloth and poor chert... Unhappy with those results, I made 3 more Flint and Steel fires. This time I used some great denim char cloth and a very sharp piece of chert... vive la différence!
Come see how beautifully it all worked out. Please SUBSCRIBE at the end of the video. Thanks!
