I don't make these very often but what it is is a 3" long, 1" wide, 3/32" thick piece of O1 heat treated and tempered to use for striking a ferro rod. They are not sharpened. It is mainly used as a striker. I have sharpened them for some people but it defeats the purpose for what they were designed for. I will post a pic in a few hours. In this pic you'll see the original design. The new one has a sheepfoot style blade and a straight line edge. I feel it will be more effective for striking.
