Never could tell, what with all those light bars you have

[threedogs]

Still sitting in the box un wrapped, was talking to the guy up the road about it,
But its no substitute for HID spotties.
They are only good IMO for night 4x4ing,
Could put it on the back of the roof rack for a reverse light.lol
but as Hodge will testify my reverse lights are bright enough

My Tops knife starting on a bow drill. The bow drill was successful in making fire, but no photos of the bow drill set

[threedogs]

Nice Im sure a few would love to see the Bow drill, I know I would

[oncedisturbed]

Nice knife, Tops make some good pieces. Interested in seeing the bow drill as well, what did you use?


Never underestimate the power of the tap, let it flow through you.

No shortage of silver Birch over in the UK by the look of things lol

[Onkey]

Here is a photo of the bow drill set. the drill, bored and pivot block are made from the above piece of downy Birch (very smiler to silver but darker and furry on the underside of leaves)
i used paracord on the bow but i am making some stinging natal cord to use instead which would mean i can make fire with just a knife, i used ear wax on the pivot of the pivot block and i used a fungi as tinder which when lit with a tiny ember terns into a hot col.

Yes Tops knives are great for hard use.
