It's not a big thing but it does lead to people thinking that a stainless knife cannot throw sparks from a ferro rod because they hear that they dont work on a firesteel. I am not picking on the word but making sure beginners get the tool they want to work how they want.

There are plenty of threads where people have replied to a post saying stainless knives won't throw sparks from a firesteel (which it won't) when the object they where referring to was a ferrocuim rod.

I call my ferro rod a firesteel too, but when we help beginners we have to be a little clearer. Thats why i started this thread. It can be confusing to someoene new to knives with all the misleading info about on the net, a lot of which comes from makers wanting there life to be easy when they make knives. In my opinion

Got you.. Sorry it came across a a moan to me..
