Oh nice! That wrap joint was used a lot in the old days on small stuff. If you hot cut with a hardie or chisel, you won't know your stuff from original :thumbsup:
 
Thanks guys the small awl second from left is for like your shirt pocket or pants pocket. The end is flattened and bent over to hook onto edge of your pocket so you dont need to dig for it
 
Nice stuff, did you harden the screw drivers and striker? How did you do it?

Regards
 
I use a piece of elderberry stem for my awls,just push them in the pith in center :thumbsup: Dilly
 
LH, nice job on doing all those little items that we wonder how can we do without them. Great job!

Loyd the screw drivers are hardened by heating in coal forge to a non-magnetic and oil guenched and tempered. This flint striker is from a file normalized once and again heated to the non- magnetic and quenching in water & does nicely when I was playing with it this one is a 4 finger model so would be handy for the camp kitchen if you didnt want to carry it
 
Boar dilly , Eagleeye thanks for your kind remarks .I may have to find me some elderberry and try that for handles I did drill a hole that was undersized and burned it in. Worked well enough I thought :)
