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?
