Sometimes you just have to try something different!
« on: June 27, 2012, 03:16:12 PM »



"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?

Dang, if that don't beat frogs flying!  Bet you could scare some folks with that.  Tell them it's a venomous "fire snake".  

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

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