Yesterday I put a quick handle on a firesteel to make it a little easier to hold while using.

Nice job. Did you epoxy the firesteel into the antler?
And a nice looking handle it is!!
Nice work. As always.
Here's my firestarter. :innocent:

Yes. The hole I drilled is a slightly more than 1/2" deep, then epoxied the firesteel into it. I also put a little epoxy under the attaching knot to hold it in place.
How.......elegant.:innocent:Quote:

I have also made here a fixed blade with about a one inch blade with no point. She has a sharpening stone, a fixed blade and a firesteel in her possibles bag so far. She has shown complete respect for both tools! She has done so well the wife doesn't even seem nervous. She is 6.
WOW! I am impressed. That is very good that she shows respect. There is no way I would cut my 5 year loose with a firesteel, Our pastures would be burnt down!!:innocent:We'll see what difference a year makes.Quote:

Is`t The Handle A Little Big
Its a point of preference. It may be a little big for those with small hands.
No, it's perfect! Crash gave this to me last year in the Christmas exchange and it has been my fire starter up at camp sence. The kids can get the woodstove going with it as well (or better) then I can.Quote:
