KHalverson:
I have been studying different styles of flint strikers from around the world.
it's amazing on how similar and yet how different the stylings are.
being of norwegian  decent some of the norse style strikers caught my fancy.
here's what I forged closely modeled after a striker I saw online.
thanks for looking.

rover brewer:
very nice work, what metal did you use?

JW_Halverson:
Likely not bronze or copper.  From analysis of digital refraction of the photo he posted, I am going to guess steel, but Kevin will have to reveal exactly what exact allow it may have been.   >:D

Uff da, cousin!  I bet with just a little chisel work, you could make the one end of the striker face look like a dragon's head and you could flare his tail on the other end.

Kevin's your the man when it comes to stuff like that!  He makes a mean patch knife  :)
