going to do some file work on the bone handle ,
it doesn't afford much grip as it is, 45 one way and 45 the other way should do it
then give it a quick buff

I don't think I could be accurate enough to try something like that

I have a few sets of needle files that will be perfect for this all different shapes.
My Op cant be that far away so want all my gear ready to go, taking far too long its BS.
Need to go up the Murray and try some gear I've made and some stuff I've brought as well.
Haven't tried to start a fire yet, but will soon

The eclipse mint tins are perfect for holding the cotton wool soaked in petroleum jelly or tinder / water proof matches etc and small enough to fit anywhere and everywhere. You can use them for almost anything and label maker like a dymo and tag each 1 so you know what's in it without having to open each 1 to get what you need.

Also get a small magnifying glass and a few small bic lighters as a back up, bugger rubbing sticks together or making a fire bow.

Still waiting on my new flint sticks to be delivered so I can change the 1 over in my GP knife, also need to change the diamond stone as well as it is crap due to the plastic molding being higher than the grit so I can't sharpen anything.

I have those Eclipse tins full of fuses etc, as for a magnifying glass , my neighbour
broke a large set of binoculars I had so I pulled them apart and kept the lens's for just this purpose
starting fires.
Fire bow etc, saw that on some out back trips to me its whirling the billy around only good for the tourist.
Would like to master the flint approach though. Usually start a fire using a Bic but don't smoke now, don't want to either
not bad for someone chewing 50 plus a day. That's another topic.
Going to use my flint to start a fire to boil some water in my Ghillie stove, well that's the goal he he he
Want to do a bit of hunting too after this next OP, basically it all centres on this next OP.
A huge deal to me.

Just worked it out those three bowie plus the dual one coming wil be $115 for 4 bowie not bad If I say so myself

Good score on the bowies.

There are many different ways to use the flint, 3 of the easiest is the cotton wool or crushed firelighters or a dash or metho / kero if you take it with you.

Takes a smidge longer using really dry tinder.

Google survival resources and check out their store, heaps of good gear and they also have heaps of tips etc as well.

Have bought a heap of gear from them in the past with no dramas at all and it is good gear as well.

These look handy for keeping "stuff" dry

[oncedisturbed]

Have had a look at those but found them too small.

The small orange match cases or the mints tins are the smallest I use
