Flint and Steel, How I deal with DULL flint.

People ask me from time to time about how to put an edge back on their dull flint. I usually direct them to one of the many flint knapping channels. I have tried some crude knapping myself, but pretty much just work with the crushed and dull edges that I have. I admit, we all want to "one strike ignite" every time, but it's just not a reasonable expectation... 4 to 10 strikes with a dull piece of flint is perfectly acceptable.
In this video I break out my dull Chert (and a piece of Quartz) to show you and give you tips on igniting Denim Char cloth. DULL as they were, it still only took a few strikes to get all 3 ignitions. Please SUBSCRIBE at the end of the video. Thanks!
