As new knives were added to my rotation, this little guy kept being pushed back further into the back of the drawer. It seemed a shame to let a decent knife go to waste,so I decided to give it a new lease on life.

Added a little jute twine, fatwood, firesteel, and tire tube.

Now it makes a handy little fire kit...

A little practice.....

Some fluffed up jute and fatwood shavings.

As luck would have it ,it started to rain as I was getting my tinder prepared.
Six strikes later ,I had fire.

It lasted a few minutes, but more fatwood would have been better.

Now this fine little knife gets carry time again.As a EDC kit, and a fine backup to my "real" daypack kit.
 
Thats a cool little kit! :cool:

The knife looks comfy for a small bugger. Nice fat handle....:thumbup:
 
I've done something similar with one of my JK's as well, I'll get some pics up next week, I'm about to go to work and then head out of town.
 
I like it. Getting a knife from being not used so much to being in the EDC rotation is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
 
Neat little kit! I wish they still made the old Altoids tins, without the raised lettering. It was so easy to remove the paint and have a plain flat-top tin.
