Yes, you can make sparks by rubbing sandpaper against metal. The friction generated between the rough surface of the sandpaper and the metal can produce enough heat to create small sparks, especially if the metal is ferrous, as it can generate fine metal shavings that ignite. This method is sometimes used in survival situations to start a fire, although it's not the most efficient technique.
