Recently purchased a Swedish Firesteel at REI and have been fooling around with it at home lighting my alcohol stove. It usually takes four or five tries with the striker that came with it. For some reason the striker has no teeth, although I notice on older models there are teeth on the striker. I'm thinking of using an old broken off hacksaw blade instead of the default striker. Of course the hacksaw blade has a hole to put the lanyard through. Just wondering if any of you do this. It would be nice to light that stove on the first try.
