Who has Blacksmithing skills?

Who on Tman might have the Mad-skills to make this Striker?

Its from my Favorite Flint-n-Steel kit.

My Daughter wants it from me but I cannot find them for sale anymore.

I've seen 4 seasons of Forged in Fire! I can definitely tell you that it needs to be the right temp when it's quenched, gotta use plenty of white-out and let it dry when making a canister damascus, and don't try and impress anyone by swinging a huge hammer because you'll quickly tire.

I also stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

Let me guess you need it by Christmas lol....

P.M. me, you have my attention.

My son can forge anything. He has some serious talent and i will tell you right up front he didnt get it from me. He could make it easily.

I've seen them all too, they tire me out...all the dummies quenching in water.
Don't they watch the show at all?

Been a while since I watched it, but you hit the nail on the head. After a few episodes I'd find myself yelling at the TV when contestants would do something like that. Like I know better lol

You can tell how old a Damascus knife is by counting the lines in the blade!

I forged one a lot like that. I used to have a coal forge, but when I moved I had to leave it. Looking into building a propane forge.

A guy on the ALR forum has these......whale striker 30.00. + shipping....he also makes strikers in snake,fish, and other things

Are you a char cloth guy.....or a charred punk wood guy ? .....I graduated to charred punk wood a couple 3 years ago

Nessmuck, I came up with a thicker char cloth that is 100% cotton but dosent break apart like thin tee shirt cloth.

I have made charcoal from firewood and used that instead of char cloth

I moving from camp to camps, a few hours time...I put coals in one tin and that in a leather bag. Start a fire easily in foul weather.

Just watched it

Is that You? Amazing Damascus

Check out the vender forms on Bushcraft USA there is usually several various styles of strikers for sale by different makers

I've seen strikers like that for sale, somewhere....
Try the bush crafters sites, or call Bens Backwoods, I bet he knows where to get one...

I've possibly got something cooking.

I like a 4 finger hold when striking sharp flint
