I'm thinking that SAK posts are allowed here as they are not in competition with Scrapyard blades, if not please feel free to remove !

As the sun had made a brief appearance today I decided I'd try and get a fire going using the magnifying glass on my SAK ~

As soon as I'd taken this pic~



This happened !:(



Deciding I didn't want to waster the tinder I'd prepped, my ferro-rod would have to be used. After a few strikes my Tinder fungus was smouldering ~



I added some Old mans beard ~



I then added some fine Cedar bark shaving that I'd made using the fish de-scaler on my SAK, this worked awesome ~





I added a little resin and more Cedar bark, it blew into flame instantly !



A few other pics from today~








Edited to add that after I'd made fire using my ferro-rod the sun came out briefly aagain, I quickly tried the magnifier again and this time got the tinder fungus smoking straight away. I then made the mistake of stopping and getting my camera out to take a pic of it smoking with the magnifier and yeah you guessed it.....the sun vanished again !!!
