If, as you say, it's the steel that sparks, maybe a sharp piece of granite from the quarry next door would work? I was always under the impression that it was the flint that sparked, not the steel. This will in turn shave a THIN sliver of steel off which will actually get hot enough to ignigte.( spark) It takes some practise, but is well worth it Then you flake a bit off so you have a nice SHARP edge. You need a nice hard stone that will flake well. It is how they are used, that is the trick. Thanks for the info on the HC spikes-I was suprised it was that low and yes I would very much appreciate the info on the other railroad steels. I checked the next day and there was no posting, so I asked the question again-I guess I didn't do good, sorry. I was wondering if there was a better way these days.Īnd Paw Paw.I am sorry for the multiple postings but the first time I posted, when I hit the 'Post' button, I got a message saying that there was nothing in the comment slot. I can make it by hand with the tiny chisel as Alan suggested or file multiple teeth as in a file as I assume they did it years ago. I would think that I should have the sharp working edge of the teeth above the regular surface of the cherry body.

I have the lathe with the mill attachment, the big & small drill presses with the cross-feed vises, etc., and can heat-treat, but I can not visualize how to get the raised teeth swirling around the pointed cherry.

Thank you for the info on the bullet cherry. 3000), can anyone suggest where I might find flints if I decide to try a striker? I'm in far northern Minnesota (over 100 miles from cities larger than pop. I assume it's rough like a file or other knurled surface, but I can't be positive from the shallow references I've seen so far. I've seen various fire strikers online but none of those I've seen yet (even on blacksmith sites) have a close-up view or description on making the striking surface.
