## Description

Review: Throws a good spark! - I bought a bunch of these for friends after teaching them to build flint and steel fires. I checked them myself, and they work great. They are large enough for someone with bigger hands than mine to hold comfortably, and the striking edge is thick enough front to back that it puts a little more distance between your knuckles the sharp piece of flint that you will eventually and inevitably slice across your knuckles while learning to do this. The striking edge is also slightly ridged, a feature that I really appreciate, as it makes it easier to throw a spark. They aren't nearly as pretty a hand wrought one, as they appear to be cut from a slab. But my pretty hand wrought has a snapped off handle, and is shaped in such as way as that I frequently have cut knuckles. See the above statement. So after testing them to make sure they worked well, I ended up buying another one for myself to replace my "pretty" one. Solid, easy to use, and gets the job done.
Review: Good quality steel - This steel works great, will instantly ignite a piece of charcoal, lay the cloth on the top of your flint right near the edge to catch a spark and sharply hit the steel against the flint with a downward motion. It works every time. I keep it in my kit for reenacting 1820-1840 fur trapping era living history prese tatiins.

## Features

- 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 2.0" x 3.7", 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Throws a good spark!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for learning. Easy sparks. Good knuckle protection. Great price.
*by C***R on August 11, 2023*

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.
