ROCK & STEEL [] Fire Starting

How to start a fire with flint and steel, this can be done with many high carbon steel knives on the flat, back edge and a tough rock such as a quartz. This was primarily done before the time of ferrocerium rods (metal match) and an abundant supply of matches, think mountain man time frame. The steel needs to be soft enough that when struck, hot shavings are created from the friction of the two colliding.
