It is easy to make flint and firesteel neck lanyard. The finished product is wearable art. This project was inspired by the Earthfire Survival Lanyard by http://earthfireus.com/Earthfire/Earthfire,_Inc._-_Firetool_Survival_Lanyards.html.

The following materials are needed:
– commercial filesteel (ferrocerium rod)
– flint or quartz
– fishing line(235 lbs tarred set line; 2 pieces, each 3 ft / 0.9 m)
– steel wire (galvanized 20 gauge; 6 in / 15 cm)
– black patina oxidizer (optional)

Use caution when drilling a hole in the firesteel. DO NOT USE OIL AS A LUBRICANT. It will start a fire! Drill slowly and use water if necessary to cool the drill. DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for injury or damages when making this lanyard.

This lanyard is a modern adaptation of the traditional method of making fire by striking hardened steel against flint. The traditional method produces sparks that will catch a coal on charred cotton or amadou and can be blown into a fire. Modern ferrocerium firesteels are an alloy of rare earth metals. They produce much hotter sparks that can directly start fire.
