JK Tin Knife Fire Kit

[C Bryant]

Cool kit and nice pictures.

One thought though, should the char cloth and jute be in waterproof bag?

Ideally yes...but I could not find the little tiny bags I had laying around... I think I threw them way on accident. Still a bit of a work in progress.

The magnets are a nice idea, but I would be very careful about putting the tin near a compass.
Just a thought...

Agreed....thanks for bringing that up. I have had the magnets kicking around here for a few weeks and I have been extra careful not to get them near any electronics and the like.

Could I dip my jute twine in regular melted candle wax?

That works just fine too. I just happend to have some beeswax I have been wanting to do something with.

Thanks for the comments on the striker handles, the dark one is walnut, the other poplar, I sent Stomper one in maple, and the on in the kit as I said is oak that I made for a friend. I'll be making more walnut and oak they really came out great. I really had a good time making them, I was a bit impressed at how well they came out, I did not expect that. I just need to get a little machinist vice or my drill press so I can drill the holes at home...I took them to work and drilled these ones.

Nice fire kit looks good. It is close to what i carry when i am out hunting...

Nice kit! I especially like the looks of those Ferro rod handles...you've given them so much character.

Thanks, I really don't care much for the typical ferro rod hanlde, they get the job done, but a nice piece of wood and some smooth curves look and feel so much better. Plus they are kind of fun to make, I will definatley be doing it a lot. Thanks again for the compliment.
