I may have to sell my two new Chambers Early Virginia locks and get two of these.

We use 1095 steel that is re-carburized to boost the surface carbon content.

Here's a still shot from the above video.  The frizzen is partially open.  Notice the concentration of sparks in the pan.

 That is super good Jim. I haven't seen a lock spark like that for many years.  I always recarburize my frizzens mostly because I anneal them to engrave and then must re harden them. But they always spark better than when straight from the source.
