For those of you who have attended our Fundamental Bushcraft courses you will have mastered the old-fashioned way of making fire with the flint and steel, sparking onto a piece of charred cloth.
Woodlore have these steels available for sale, made specially for us by the esteemed British blacksmith Andrew Kirkham. Andrew has produced a number of items for Ray and Woodlore over the years, including our Stitching Awls and Canadian Steel Strikers.
The following dimensions of the steel may vary slightly as this is a hand-forged item:
As well as these steels, we now also sell a Traditional Canadian Steel Striker, based on those used in the fur trade.

Tried this steel out with some flint (well, a black glassy rock I seem to have an abundance of in the borders of my garden) and it threw a mass of sparks. Slighly disappointed with the fact this steel is quite thin on the side away from the striking side, probably because it isn't tempered on this side and so I think this will be subject to bending later on. Other than that, a really good steel.

Attended the Introduction to Bushcraft course and got to use one of these for fire lighting. When I got back I had to get one of my own. It’s such a primal way to light a fire and so rewarding. Practice and prepare your tinder well.

To the best of our knowledge, all kit specifications are accurate, although these can vary at times. We aim to dispatch all orders by the next working day.
