fire striker knives are a risky business cause everything needs to be very hard and with that hardness also come brittleness

Don't I know it! Wone one at a Rendezvous and as soon as I got it back to my campsite I gave it a flick to stick it in a stump and it shattered. *sigh*

I know also, dropped my favorite striker and it broke in several pieces.

they don't need retempered.
they need to be annealed ,normalized and reheat treated.
they will be very brittle and prone to breakage.
