Fire steels and Knife edges

Everyone knows you're not supposed to use you knife edge to strike a spark from a ferro-rod except in the worse of emergencies. Well I ignore this rule the last time I was in the woods, not once but many many times.

I hearby swear to never do this again. I ruined my knife edge so badly that it has taken me forever to get it hair popping sharp again using ceramic rods.

Be kind to your knife, don't strike with the edge.
