Ferro Rod and Striker 101 - Striking Methods
Published: 4 years ago
I made a video a couple weeks ago of a fixed blade knife. In that video, I tried to strike a ferro rod with the spine in the knife with little success. A comment was made that I possibly wasnt striking the ferro rod properly. The real issue was the knife did not have a proper 90 degree spine.
All that being said, it inspired me to do a video on the proper technique for striking a ferro rod and this is the result!
Thanks for watching!
