Top Fire Steel Tinders | Fire Series Pt 4

Demonstrating a specific charring method for lighting stubborn tinders that would not otherwise ignite by throwing sparks down from above. WARNING: In this video you'll see potentially offensive footage of a knife blade being used on a ferro rod! We knew before making this video that this would "strike" a chord with some viewers who would inform us that we should use the spine of the knife or a dedicated striker to avoid "ruining" our knife blade. Thank you all for your concern and suggestions. The knife in this video IS our dedicated ferro rod striker. That's its primary job. It has had this job for over 50 years. It rarely dulls, and on the rare occasion that it does, it is easily and quickly resharpened to be practically as good as new even for woodworking if needed. A sharper edge produces more spark with less force and dramatically increases control and spark placement which is essential for the charring method that we use in the video. Nearly all knife spines and other strikers we’ve used in comparison feel clunky and awkward next to this particular knife in the video. We aren't making a recommendation that everyone use a knife blade on every knife they own for ferro rod work. Maybe you have a striker that is just as sharp and effective as our knife in the video. Fantastic…use that. We have simply made the choice to take this one specific knife and turn it into a ferro rod striker, and we have no regrets. This one knife has been making fires for over 50 years with absolutely NO sign of damage or being structurally compromised in any way even as a wood working knife. So there it is…a 50 year case study of a knife blade being used repeatedly as a striker. Do whatever you want with that information, again we’re not making a recommendation, we aren’t “teaching” anyone to do what we did, but this knife is structurally no worse for the wear after 5+ decades of fire making. Go figure.
