    Made myself a new fire steel

    I finally found a few minutes to make a fire steel to a design I sketched a while ago. I'm not quite sure yet, I may tinker with it a bit more, but I'm happy to leave this one as it is and try a few more. Made from truck spring and only hardened along the striking edge.
