What type of information? Historical or how it's used?
I don't know much about historically...I don't think the Romans had true steel...it was more "steely-iron" (I didn't make up that term). Flint strikers have been used for many centuries...the shapes sometimes reflect the country or time period they come from.The one in the photo is from Mussel Fork Forge and it is actually too small to put your fingers through the loops...so it is held in a pinch grip. I do have full-sized Strikers that can be held like a knuckleduster, but I prefer smaller sized one that can be pinched because I feel it gives me more control and fewer skinned knuckles
