Pit's Camping Trip !!!

One other thing I forgot to mention about the Opinel is how well they work with a ferro rod. Being carbon steel and having a square shouldered spine they throw out a great shower of sparks !!!:thumbup:
 
Do I see and Opinel vs Mora review in the near future?

How does the fact that it's carbon steel enter in to it? Ferro rods will work with any sharp, hard edge.

Just tried this and got lots of sparks w/ some known carbon steel knives, but only very small sparks w/ a couple of 440c knives and a butter knife thrown in. A screwdriver also sparked good w/ the 'light my fire' rod.

Make sure the edges are sharp and not rounded. A piece of glass will create sparks with a ferro rod.

Try the back of the saw on a SAK, which is stainless steel. It throws off great sparks.

In the interests of accuracy, I just tried it with the back of the saw on my Vic Spirit - lots of sparks.

Pdog, I see you're here. Try your Vic Spirit saw.
 
What can I say that nobody has said? Whatever, nice pictures! Looked like a nice camping trip. :thumbup:
