FAQ: My sheath has a firesteel loop -- what size firesteel will fit?
15th Apr 2015
The loop on sheaths from Bark River Knives, as well as the loops found on KSF Leather sheaths, will accommodate a 3/8" firesteel. These firesteels will fit:
- KnivesShipFree Custom Firesteels
- KnivesShipFree 3/8" Misch Metal Firesteels
- Bark River Custom Firesteels
- LightMyFire Swedish Army Firesteel
These loops are made intentionally snug, so that they keep a tight hold your firesteel. If you have any trouble inserting the firesteel the first time, use a pencil or similar object and work the upper end of the loop, then try the firesteel again. It'll get easier over time.
If you have an early Bark River Bravo Necker or Bravo Necker II with a sheath (Kydex or leather) designed to accept a firesteel, the KnivesShipFree 1/8" x 2" Ferrocerium Rod firesteels will fit.
