Probably a silly question.
Got a black swedish foresteel yesterday, with striker attached.
I can get plenty of spaarks with noth it and the back of my knife, but not get anything to light .
Question how far away from the material shouls i be before i strike it, and what would you recommend as simple tinder.
I tried a pile of sawdust dunked in meths... nothing, cotton wool and also polish cloth for cars, still nothing. A match lit everything forst time.
Come on guys help me here, i want to use it.
thanks
