## Questions & Answers

**Q: What shavings ? Is the semi rough surface for sharpening knives?**
A: The semi rough surface, should be the flint. You would strike that with the back edge of your knife or another metal edge, which will give you spark. You shave the magnesium block and try to get the sparks towards the shavings. Real nice item for your bag.

**Q: where is it made?**
A: I can't recall, as I threw mine away shortly after receiving it. The magnesium bar is VERY low grade, recommend against purchasing this one.

**Q: What is included in the package**
A: The magnesium bar with a flint bar embedded in the edge, you would still need a steel (or knife blade) to strike the spark.

Works great

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality and important tool for bug out bag.
*by H***G on August 13, 2024*

When you find yourself in a survival situation the ability to make a fire to signal for help, boil drinking water, or warm your food or yourself, even after being soaked to the skin, this little tool can be the difference between fire or no fire. Produces lots of sparks, and the magnesium shavings are very flammable to help ignite a hot tinder bundle asap. You can carry it easily and have it when you need it . I can recommend this.
