Thread: WK Flint & Steel Fire Making Kits

  1. #1

    Cool WK Flint & Steel Fire Making Kits including flint & Charcloth

    I made a load of kits up for members today and I have two left over



    As you can see they are about 4" (or 10cm) across so you can get your hand in them and they include flint and charcloth with your C type striker






    Here's a vid of me testing them (and myself he he)




    £11 each including PP fees and postage

    Highly recommended, just been sparking up in the dark with mine.

    I must say that Kev is a top chap to deal with, a really nice fella. I'm not used to this flint stuff so I have been sparking up too.... using rose quartz.
    Having too many options gives you the option to get it wrong one day.

    I like the look of those.

    Can you keep one aside for me please Kev?

    I'll be offline till Tuesday next week and will PM you then, if that's ok?

    Much obliged

    Wow! Kev.

    Your fire steel works a treat. My 9 YO son and I made up some char cloth last night... The little fella takes a few strikes with the steel and has the cloth 'sparked up'.

    Thanks very much, mate, much appreciated

    got it off Fleabay for about £200 a couple of years ago. OK if your 5'8" ish but I bang my 6'4" head on it all the time he he
    Very flimsy while putting up but well strong when erected. Holds the lawn mower .... oh and my Harley and Goldwing (notice the alarms )
