Title: Sometimes you just have to try something different!

"copperhead" flint striker!  No, it's not made of copper (it's steel).  Notice how it fits in the hand. The little finger fits in the "ring" in the tail and the thumb fits on his head.  Man, does it SPARK!

What do you think?

All seriousness aside, That is a very neat (unique) striker. :bl th up

How do you get that "coppery" look on the steel?
