    Default Flint and Ferro striker from W1

    Hi all, had fun yesterday making a dual use flint and ferro rod striker from a 6 inch x 3/8 W1 steel rod. Pounded it out in the backyard forge and water quenched it. Did not harden as much as I thought it would but it sparks on flint quite well and with the 90 degree twist I put into the handle it can also be used on a ferro rod.

    Pictures made using an old Pentax DSLR on tripod and full manual. 4 second exposure with flash and the 2 second self timer was used.
