52100 Flashings

These pieces, called "flashings" are what is left when hand tools are forged at our parent company. The pictures show a few things that could be made from one or each half of one of these - fire strikers, bottle openers, even small kitchen knives. We have also made straight razor and hidden tang knife blanks - shown elsewhere on the site. 

The flashings are hard enough as pictured to strike a spark on a ferrocerium rod, but ideally one would heat them to critical and quench for optimum hardness.They are also brittle, and should be normalized or heated before working. Sold by the pound-limit 5lbs due to shipping volume.
