For the flint portion, you need to hold it closer to your tinder (you can even set it on your tinder, just be careful not to move your tinder while striking) and strike it a few times in quick succession to keep the sparks raining. I couldn't tell what you were using for tinder, but I would recommend using the axe or knife to cut "feather sticks" in your wood also I would recommend to not use any sharp edge for flint/fire steel, that's a quick way to dull it, find a 90 degree angle (the sharper, less rounded, it is the better) somewhere on the tool like the back of the knife or maybe on the file, that should help preserve your tools. The serrated portion on your combo knife is primarily used for cutting fibrous materials like rope or net, it can be used like a saw but that's not its intended use. Besides that nice video keep up the good work!

You might have meant "serrated knife". Also, I see the axe useless as anything but maybe a bigger knife, the way you are holding it will just destroy your hand before any piece of wood moderately hard.

Yeah you're right🎯 The axe will only chop small pieces of wood or branches, definitely not something to try on a bigger piece.
