Could some one tell me what is the ideal steel striker to use with a metal match? I just received a 1/2"x4" metal match and have experimented with all types of steel types and hardness levels and some don't work at all, some barely create sparks, and a very few work well. Working well has been a piece of hacksaw blade(tooth side) and the narrow toothy side of a file. Knives of different hardness, including both stainless and tool steel have worked rather poorly or not at all using the spine, just fairly using the blade edge. The little piece of steel that came with another metal match I have(Gerber Strike Force) worked really well. Does anyone know what kind of steel is used in the StrikeForce
match? What do you all use?
Thank you for your replies.
