Hultafors GK Heavy Duty - #1. Firesteel Modification

Hultafors Carbon Steel Knife:

Country of Origin: Sweden
Cost: Knife: £4.10 - Firesteel: £1.99 +99p P&P
Uses: Very strong, cheap but quality knife designed for heavy work, good for batoning wood and making fire. 

Once you have split your kindling you will want to start a fire, see the images below for a simple firesteel holder.












 Using a small saw here prevents the pen barrel from deforming





 Bicycle inner tube needs to be cut the same length as the pen tube


 You will find it easier to roll the inner tube up to the top of the sheath and then roll back down flat
(warning: this will not prevent you from having babies)








 The lip on the Knife sheath secures the firesteel


Total cost of knife and firesteel: £7.09
