New ferro rod strikers

[SpookyPistolero]

Hi Scott, are these still something you could make? If you're still doin' em I'd like to get one like Mike's in post #11, the sharpened one (is that the 'old' style?).

 

[Gossman Knives]

Spooky, yes, still making them. I can fix you up. :thumbup:
Scott

 

[SpookyPistolero]

Awesome! Thanks man, just let me know re: payment, etc...

 

[Gossman Knives]

Will do. Thanks
Scott

Got the striker today! It's great, very compact. Gonna try to figure out a very slim/sleek blade cover so I can just keep it attached to a firesteel. I did tie a noose-knot (name?) to give it sort of a full hand grip, works pretty well.

Got it out of the box and promptly cut my finger really well, which is usually a good sign of sharpness.

 

[Gossman Knives]

Spooky, sorry about the finger. Looks great with the extended para cord. :thumbup:

Haha, never be sorry that you ship knives sharp! By the way, do you know anyone who makes simplistic kydex 'sleeves' for these?

 

[Gossman Knives]

I can make you one. I'm making another striker this week that I can use for the sheath.
Scott

 

[SpookyPistolero]

Sweet! Thanks man. Just lemme know!

man these are so cool.

 

[SpookyPistolero]

Quick question: for those of you with sharpened strikers, are you using the sharp edge as a strike or reserving the spine for that use? I had originally picked it up to use the edge that way, but the notion always rubs me wrong.

man these are so cool.

They are indeed.

i have one of the first sharpened ones that Scott did, and man is it SHARP... it's pretty darn cool..

i have always used the spine of my knives to srtike the firesteels, never the edge... :thumbup:

 

[Gossman Knives]

I'm with Mike. Use the spine and save the edge.
Scott

 

[SpookyPistolero]

That's what I was feeling guys. I never use the edge of knives for that either ( ) but couldn't decide to classify this as a knife that makes a good striker, or a pure striker. But that helps with the quandary.

I have to make a couple for another forum member. Just let me know which style you prefer and I'll make one up for you. Thanks

Which style, old or new? Sharp or not?
Thanks
Scott

 

[Rotte]

Old School preferred, but if you are making a batch, I'll try either style.

Scott, I would like a couple of strikers. Sharpened please.
