About this item

  • High-carbon steel flint striker: Strikers such as these have been proven over millennia to produce high-temperature sparks capable of igniting fire consistently over a lifetime of use. Because of their high level of dependability, these strikers are popular with outdoorsmen, survivalists, peppers, and those practicing self-sufficiency.
  • Perfect size for portability: Measuring in at only 1.7" x 3.5", these strikers are ideal for backcountry wilderness survival as an emergency fire starter. Strap it to your bag for the added peace of mind knowing you’ll always have the ability to create sparks with flint, chert, quartz, jasper, agates, or other glassy rocks.
  • How to use: It is important to familiarize yourself with firecraft techniques and practice in a safe environment long before you rely on it for survival. Carbon steel strikers create sparks by shedding molten micro particles after striking, or being struck by, sharp rocks that are harder than the striker itself. To ignite a fire, catch the sparks with charcloth and tinder while blowing it into a flame.

This one throws sparks much better than others I have tried, even home made ones. I don't have access to actual flint or chert, but quartz is everywhere around me. This steel just works great with the quartz.

I like the brass knucke style of it and maybe if it was finish ground on the striking side, it could be more better. but it works and throws good sparks

Stamped steel, excellent grip (xl size hands) after a small bit of edge grinding this feels great in the hand. Even with a 3 finger hold.

Bought 10 of these to use in an outdoor wilderness skills class for kids because they were inexpensive and they seemed easy to handle. I did not expect too much, but they throw sparks better than any of the other fire steels I own when striking flint or even broken quartz beach stones. They easily produce embers on char cloth and charred punkwood. These have really made it easy for the kids to learn how to use the flint and steel technique to start campfires. The only real "negative" I can find is that because of their size they are heavier than more "traditionally" shaped fire steels. For my own outdoor use, I will probably continue to use a smaller and lighter steel even though it would be a little more difficult to use. But for something where you weren't concerned about the weight or you were just trying to learn the technique with minimal frustration, this is definitely the way to go.

First time using it, it created sparks and lit my char cloth. Had a fire going in just a couple of minutes. Makes sparks as long as you have a good piece of flint. Hardest part just getting right angle so sparks hit char cloth.I have 3 now for different fire kits

The steel makes good sparks when struck properly against flint, fits well in the hand
