Another consideration: I've seen a few people inadvertantly cut themselves when the blade slipped while striking sparks with a ferrocerium rod. Using a stone instead of a blade helps reduce the risk of a laceration. The last thing you need on the trail, especially if lost or already injured, is a self-inflicted injury to compound your problems.
