New ferro rod strikers

I got mine yesterday and it is everything I expected. I hope to try it out some this weekend. What is the best carry method for the sharpened ones? (mine came very sharp)
Thanks again Scott!

The best carry method.....very carefully. :D Seriously, I really never thought about the sharpened ones for carry. Most I've made in the past were just as stikers. Duct tape and cardboard. :D

I've been carrying mine daily in a small leather pouch from Duluth Trading Company, but those sheaths are a vast improvement. Although it's not it's intended purpose, I've been EDC'ing this little blade since I got it. Very nice Scott!

Scott, got my strikers yesterday, wow are they sharp. I regret not getting one dull, Im afraid to strike with it. ilbruche, whats a guy gotta do to get one of those excellent sheaths.
 
Scott,

I'm really pumped to see how that idea I posed to you works out. I think it has potential as a really cool alternative to the cheap strikers (not yours!!) some manufacturers provide with their firesteels.

Looking at those leather sheaths has me wondering too. Any chance of offering a small knife in stainless based on the striker idea with a leather sheath as key chain knife? I figure the split ring could go through the hole in the butt of the striker as well as in a rivet in the leather pouch to keep it from slipping out. Does this make sense?
 
Do the sharpened strikers throw better sparks than the un-sharpned ones? Are most people using the sharpened ones as dedicated strikers or as back up small blades?
 
One more for the sharpened striker, please!



(Should I send an email for confirmation, Scott?)
 
Those sheaths are awesome! WANT ONE... NEED ONE! NOW damn it! :D

Seriously... who do I get one from?

Grampa, I've got an old style striker available. Just need to clean it up and sharpen. Let me know if you want that one.
Thanks
Scott
 
Scott --

Thanks for the striker (a dull one). I'm lovin' it. :D

I got a fero rod from Ferrocerium and epoxy'd it into an old bit of deer antler. Then I added your striker with an old thong. Lo', the slickest fero rig I've ever used.
