Yep. We did it a couple of times. The hack saw blade is much better at scraping it off the bar and makes way more sparks on the other side. Got the idea from picking up a 'swiss fire starter' it had a small, four inch piece of hacksaw blade tied to the 'mag' stick. We could barely get it to work before using the knife to scrape it amd dulling the blade. This way works every time.
I seriously expected an epic fail at 1:24 but your fire pulled through. I was seriously doubting that it would catch. Great job 5/5

Oh, you're supposed to create a small pile of magnesium. That makes sense.
