These strikers are inspired by traditional styles used &
carried by different cultures through the eras.  Each
comes with a kit that includes: a chard of high quality
flint, a bundle of jute fiber, char cloth, & a rectangular
hinged mint tin to carry it all in.
Although you will not find exact replicas of most of the
strikers here, these are inspired by the creativity of
blacksmith through the ages.  Kits like these were prized
items or given as gifts.  Each kit includes: a chard of
high quality flint, a bundle of jute fiber, char cloth,
milkweed ovum, & a round tin that you not only can
carry it all in but can also double for making char cloth.
Although you may not have seen very many historical
references to mini flint & steel kits, they were actually
very popular & were often worn as pendants for easy
access.  These kits include: a chard of high quality flint,
a bundle of jute fiber, char cloth, and a rectangular
hinged mint tin to carry it all in.
Like the mini strikers, Striker Knives never got a lot of
historical recognition although many examples of the
first multi-tools including a steel striker did exist.  There
are no historical examples quite like these but they are
inspired by the creativity of blacksmith through the ages.
 Each of these comes with sheath & a chard of high
quality flint.
Flint & Steel kits were almost always carried in pouches
with plenty of the best fire lighting material close at
hand as many materials are not available or easy to
find in harsh conditions.  You will find leather pouches,
Instant Flame Tinder for your tinder bundle, &
replenishment kits for your preferred primitive fire
lighting method.

I specially heat treat my
strikers. I let it sit with only the
striking surface in the quench
and let the heat dissipate from
the upper portion. After the
upper portion has stopped
glowing and turns black, I fully
dunk it. This creates a surface
that throws lots of huge sparks
while leaving the gripping area
less hardened for durability.
