David Einhorn Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Here are a few of the past discussions on flint strikers that I found using the search feature in the upper right hand corner of this screen:http://www.iforgeiro...__fromsearch__1http://www.iforgeiro...__fromsearch__1http://www.iforgeiro...__1#entry217264http://www.iforgeiro...__fromsearch__1http://www.iforgeiro...__fromsearch__1http://www.iforgeiro...__fromsearch__1http://www.iforgeiro...__1#entry155609http://www.iforgeiro...__fromsearch__1http://www.iforgeiro...__1#entry127820http://www.iforgeiro...__1#entry125184http://www.iforgeiro...__1#entry124661http://www.iforgeiro...__fromsearch__1http://www.iforgeiro...__fromsearch__1http://www.iforgeiro...__fromsearch__1http://www.iforgeiro...h__1#entry78475http://www.iforgeiro...ch__1#entry3484 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willis Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 There is indeed an Italian book on fire steels. Called appropbriatly enough 'Fire Steels' . If you can find it, it will run upwards to $275.00 +. I am fortunate enough to have a copy and consider it the bible on the subject. It gives a whole history of steels, and the color plates of the authurs collection are fantastic. The Museum of the Fur Trade also has a back issue of the 'Fur Trade Quarterly' that deals mainly with this subject as far as Colonial America and the Fur Trade is concerened. I forget just which back issue it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
