Looking for the maker.

(1/2) > >>

White Falcon:
They don't sspark with chert. Is there a way to tell if they are made from a file or cold rolled steel? Could they be hardened so I could use them for flint and steel. I got these in a trade. Anyone know the maker?

sleek:
Could be made from anything but thats a common style to make from railroad spikes.if you run a file across the bag dose it dig in or skate off? That will tell you if its hardened at least.

White Falcon:
File skates off the knives. They are also magnetic.

KHalverson:
those knives probably weren't intended to strike flint for sparks..
fire striker knives are a risky business cause everything needs to be very hard and with that hardness also come brittleness

White Falcon:
I was wanting them to be strikers. Is there a way to get them retempered so they will make a spark?
