Striker ??

(1/2) > >>

White Falcon:
 I aquired a striker that won't spark on chert or flint. Seems hard, any thoughts on why it won't strike.

KHalverson:
check it with a file.
a file should NOT cut it..
then take an old file and see if u get sparks off the same chert or flint.

White Falcon:
Thanks.

TRiggs:
Is the striking  edge flat ? They need teeth to make a spark.

White Falcon:
I ground the working edge  flat, now I have some sparks.
