The Scrapivore would be a good blade for a fire steel striker. Mainly in my mind since it has a pry bar pommel. However I think you need bare steel to strike a fire steel so removing the coating on the edge of the pry pommel would be in order. However the coating is very easy to remove by simply soaking it in lacquer thinner. Here is a picture of mine that I stripped and then forced a patina on. The patina is a good idea since SR-101 is very prone to rust.
