1095. Heat to red-orange, quench in 100°/120° brine. NOT water. Water often causes cracks. Use as is, or temper at 300°. File steel works good also, as long as it is not one that just case-hardened. 1095 makes an excellent fire striker. I had a customer set his T shirt on fire while playing with his.
