Its more of a hunting knife, but it works decently for outdoor work (I have a friend with one)

If so, i would say its not the best becasue the blade is stainless, which produces very little spark. You want high carbon blades for that. Like a Mora or Frost blade. It would still work & would start a fire if you had all the tinder ready to go. I have the Buck 119 its great & heavy enough for alot of camp chores

Not totally true, I use a stainless steel knife alot in the woods, I have no problem getting a striker to work, its all in the spine angle, my 192, 110, 119 and 055 strike fine, just as my nimravus, grohmann knives in stinless and stainless moras.
Think of Vic knives, the spine of the saw, Sog rovolver works well too.

Yeah, Fonly is right. A good hard edge is needed to get a high-quality spark. I can't get sparks from the spine of my SOG Field Pup because it has a rounded, smooth edge. The thumb notch works good, though. I can get really good sparks from the spine of the saw on my Wave, and the spine of my E304x. They are squared off really good. Carbon steel has always been favored by most people for sparking(haven't experienced it myself), but if you have a good hard edge on the spine(don't use the cutting edge!), you can still get good sparks from stainless.
There's my 2 cents.

Oh, one more thing.
Stainless steel has plenty of carbon, but has additives to make it stain less. That's why they call it stainless, not stain proof. It makes it easier to prevent rust, but they still require maintenance.
So go oil your blades!
^There's an extra two cents for ya.

While I was taking a pic of my new Mora, I figured I might as well get the whole family while I was at it.
Fits in quite nicely, don't you think?
