For the modern homo sapiens with very primitive flint knapping skills (that is, me), once the flint core is smaller than say the size of my fist, direct percussion is a dangerous affair, as demonstrated yesterday. The wound on my hand is not too bad, but I could still squeeze a couple of drops of blood from it this morning, after nearly 12 hours.

That’s why “modern” Homo Sapiens had invented Big/Zippo lighters for themselves and post-modern Homo Sapiens hired someone to carry them.
