Forging a Flint Striker from a Car Coilspring

For this video I make my first flint striker (strike-a-light). Links below include photos I used for inspiration, consisting of Viking and fur-trade era strikers. At the end of the video I also test the striker on quartzite and flint and start a fire with char-cloth.
