Hi Folks.
I'm needing to make some strikers for ferro rod firesteels.
I was wondering about high carbon flat bar and cutting it into lengths and boring a hole in the end. I might get access to a guillotine and a hole puncher at the blacksmiths. This would save heating the metal.
If I got high carbon steel (1095 I believe) would that work without having to quench them.
Trying to keep production time down as I've got 240 to make!!!!!
Thanks.
