• A reliable fire lighting tool - the magnesium block removes the need to find and process natural tinders. Simply use the striker to scrape away at the magnesium block to produce flammable magnesium shavings. These can be lit using the Ferro rod attached. In cold or wet climates an immediate backup source of tinder is invaluable.
• The fire steel comes with a high-quality striker which also functions as a bottle opener, a handy bonus feature when sitting around the campfire!
• The combined magnesium block makes the Ferro rod very easy to grip, especially when wearing gloves - perfect for colder climates and beginners.
What is a magnesium fire starting block?
Unlike standard Ferro rods, magnesium blocks contain a block of magnesium, hence the name! This magnesium can be processed into tinder shavings, meaning you always have a source of waterproof tinder on hand.
Onto of the block sits a Ferro rod. Ferro Rods are one of the most influential innovations in outdoor products. They are extremely reliable. Unlike matches or lighters, they very rarely break and require zero fuel. They are 100% waterproof and windproof and will light fires at any altitude, making them the perfect survival tool.
Ferro Rods are made using a blend of ferrocerium, a synthetic alloy that produces hot sparks due to a rapid oxidation process that occurs when you strike the rod.
This would make the perfect gift for anyone that enjoys bushcraft or spending time in the great outdoors. This product is extremely long-lasting and would make a unique gift to keep and remember!
