Blacksmithing - Forging a flint striker and making fire without matches

So guys, as promised i wanted to upload a video around April time. I want to create some bushcraft items for myself a survival tool kit as it were so a quick and easy video to film i decided with this project first. I tested the new camera gear out and still need to iron a lot of kinks out in the filming process so as they go on they should hopefully get better, quality and entertainment wise. Especially the focus pulling. Hope you enjoy and learn from this video, even if its a single process, if you did, it makes it worthwhile learning all this to create some content for you. Stay safe, and thanks for watching.

So far..........This is by far my most favorite flint striker (steel) I have seen to date. Nicely done, Nathan.
