Flint and steel works by the sharp edge of the flint chipping off molecules of iron which react with the oxygen in the air and ignite. The Flint is the part knocking off the iron molecules and it needs a fairly brittle / hard piece of steel to let the rock knock off the iron molecules.
One of the attractions of high carbon steels, as we all know, is the capability of striking sparks with flint, chert or quartz. I have started several fires with my Terävä Jääkäripuukko and with an Opinel. I really don’t want to hit my very nice, very expensive 3V knife with a rock, but would...
