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.

That looks awesome. What did you use for the patina?
Thanks man! I actually took a two lemons and halved them. Then with the flesh part of the lemon facing down I pushed the scrapivore into the halves. I think I let sit about 20 minutes but should have went a little longer since the patina kinda faded after awhile. I would also suggest using like 1500 to 3000 grit just to polish the steel a little. A DA sander works great!
