Would small files work for a fire striker? I'm not entirely sure what you mean by fire striker, is that like a flint steel or the steel you strike the flint with?
I use old files for small projects and save even the small 4 to 6 inch ones. The thin ones make excellent leather cutting knives. I just bevel one side and have a left and right pair. I only tempered them for 2 hours at 375 and they really hold an edge, they're Nicholson files by the way.
