@snaponjohn100 Glad I could help this way too! Thanks for the comment!

Thank you so much Mathias my friend. So many people think that you have to use carbon steel. I keep saying that the steel does not cause the spark, it is the oxygen in the air, the thin sliver, and the heat from friction. You have just proved it!! God bless. John

@dealtoyo With glass, it will be possible with quartz or flint... I have to try that one...

Can you strike a spark off of your high carbon steel knife using a broken piece of glass?

@cesp82 exactly, but not always easy to find in every country. Quartz is what I found the most difficult to strike my firesteel with for now.

could you also use part of your belt buckle?

@leighannmauk Well, this depends on the material your buckle is made of and if it has sharp edges... Only way to know is to test several! could be a great thing by the way!

@leighannmauk There's a belt buckle on Dave Canterbury's site that is meant to be used as a flint striker (don't know if it would work on a firesteel, but you could just sharpen the edges).
