Description
Sometimes it's fun to light your fire with a matchstick.
This fire steel is 120 mm long in total with the handle. The steel is 73 mm and of good quality.
The outermost black layer is a protective coating that is rubbed off when you use the fire steel. This fire steel produces a powerful burst of sparks that are 300 degrees hot, making it easy to light.
We recommend that you also purchase a bundle of Maya sticks .
Scrape off a pile of shavings from the Mayan sticks with the serrated end of the ruler, place the fire steel against it and pull with the black metal ruler. A shower of sparks will quickly ignite the shavings. Be prepared to feed in small sticks and then larger and larger pieces of dry wood.
This is the best fire steel we have tried, it produces many and large sparks.
For your emergency kit, we recommend that you supplement it with a bunch of lighters and a blowtorch .
