Thanks man, it is pretty cool really. Didn't get a chance to use it. Didn't need a fire in the 94° weather, haha. She came coated in choji oil, so, of course, it smelled like cloves.
Haven't used it yet, but I don't believe it will. Doesn't take much to get a spark with a striker usually. In all honesty, I'm not even sure it's supposed to be held like that, haha. I could hold it like I hold my ESEE striker:
I have some kinda nostalgia thing coming on or something? I've recently become intrigued by this old stuff.. I'm ready for buckskins and a long rifle lol!
